How can i delete an asterisk (*) in my content

Hi,
When I use the text parser, it’s not working. It always works with words, but not with asterisks (*). Do I need to format it differently?

You’ll have to escape special characters in your pattern,

\*

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Hi @trokiano

If you want to remove all “*” from the text you can use replace function.

{{replace(493.text; "*"; emptystring)}}

or use the following if you want space instead of *

{{replace(493.text; "*"; space)}}

This is working. Can I replace it with nothing? Normally, I would replace it with a blank space.

Just use the special variable {{ emptystring }}, which means a 0-length text string.

You can also save an operation by using the built-in function replace

e.g.:

{{ replace("*Test*"; "*"; emptystring) }}

For more information, see the function documentation in the Help Center.
