Mystery Whitespace

Community Support

Hi, wondering if someone can help me with this.  

I am pulling a string from some html 

" style="width: 193px; height: 19px; " > Test</td> "

if I parse this to get the value “Test” it ends  up looking like

" Test"

if I cast to symbol it looks like

`` Test `

I’ve tried timming, and replacing, and other things but I can’t seem to get rid of the preceeding whitespace

Thanks

Hi Roni,

You can use the trim command with except to get rid of the whitespace:

q)s:" \n Test"q)$trim s except "\n"Test

Or you can use the .Q.id command:

q).Q.id $sTest

Hope this helps!
