Hi!

Thanks for your repy.

I have tried trim white spaces fn. but it didn't work

Hi bhotu,

use the search and replace function with "true" for replace all. Switch you original string control to "CodeDisplay" to find out which character you have to replace.

You should use that vi for every line and if one line consists of only \r\n, delete it.

Hi! Pnt

Thanks

But I don't want to replace anything. Just I want to delete white spaces. I have used trim white spaces fn. It works. But it printed output in single line. I have attached file for your reference

Hi bhotu,

can you please upload your vi, so that we can see which characters are in your string?

You could try to use a compare statement to see if a line is empty, anddelete the ones that are, or do the opposite for lines that have values other than space or null. This would delete the empty lines, which is different than trimming the white spaces

You first need to define what you consider to be "whitespace". Is it just a space? Is it spaces and linefeeds? What about carriage returns? Tabs? Anything non-alphabetic and/or non-numeric?

As mentioned previously, the Search and Replace String can be used to delete characters by wiring an empty string to the replace string input. The following, for example, will delete all spaces:



If you need to delete other whitespace characters, just call it again on the resulting string.

Hi! Beaton,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

finally i did it and it works. I have used trim white spaces  function and  search and replace string fn. with end of line. it works.

Thanks
