Hi all, I am sending data from trello card description to twilio to send out a message. My problem is that when i send the data (card description) comes in with alot of blank
spaces, how do i remove these? i tried replace(description; n;“”) unsuccessfully. TYIA
1. Delete space before and after the Name variable
2. Use the built-in function trim to remove spaces before and after a variable
e.g.:
{{ trim(38.description) }}
For more information, see the function documentation in the Help Center.

@samliew thanks for the response! Unfortunately, my issue is that the spaces exist within the description that is being fed into the module( because that is how it is trello) see pictures.
I need a way to remove spaces within the variable itself.
How do you want the spaces removed? All spaces including newlines, or just newlines?
Could you provide an example of the preferred output?
You can use the built-in function replace
e.g.:
{{ replace(38.description; "/\s+/g"; space) }}
This will replace multiple consecutive spaces including newlines with a single space.
For more information, see the function documentation in the Help Center.

@samliew Sorry to bother again, what do i do when the data coming from trello has some text altering features and the text comes out funny. see attached How do i clean it up?
seems trello uses markdown. so updated question is: how do I remove mardown formatting from my output?
You can please create a new question thread for removing of Markdown formatting.

@samliew what would the formula be to just remove new lines?
