Removing spaces in field

Sorry for asking a very simple (hopefully) question.  Does anyone know how can remove spaces from a given field.  One of my field has the following:
field1 = '      ABCD'.
What command should I use so field1 would end up with just 'ABCD'?
Thanks.

Hi SS
General templates for doing such operations on strings:
SHIFT <c> LEFT DELETING LEADING <str>.
SHIFT <c> RIGHT DELETING TRAILING <str>.
where str can be SPACE or something like e.g: 'abc'

  • Removing spaces from field names?

    Hi. I'm using Acrobat 9.3.3.
    I use the Form Wizard to create... forms. And a lot of these forms I need to have it do some math calculations -- sums, products, etc. But when I use the Wizard, it auto-creates field names with spaces in them. And (I don't know if this is normal), when I create formulas, notations, scripts, if it's trying to pull from a field with a space in the name it doesn't work.
    I have to go in and manually take out the spaces from all the field names... and there can be a lot of fields!
    Is there some process I'm not seeing, or some way to configure the Wizard, to remove/prevent spaces in the field names?
    Thanks for any info!

    I don't believe it is possible.

  • Remove spaces and special characters from a form field

    Hi,
    I am tragically new to all of this, but am trying to create a form in Adobe Acrobat 9.  I am trying to use a Custom Format script to take inputs in a form field and automatically remove spaces and special characters (hyphens specifically).  For example, if a user inputs "RAN-99 06" I would like it to change to "RAN9906."  I found this script that will not let users input special characters
    if (!event.willCommit) {
        event.change = event.change.replace(/[\$#~%\*\*\^\-\(\)\+=\[\]\{\};\"\<\>\?\|\\\!]/g, "");
    And that's okay, but I can't figure out how to disallow spaces.  Also, the perference would be for a script to allow users to input the data as they like, but to clean it up after they leave the text field.
    Thanks in advance!

    From the description, I assume that the script is currently in the Keystroke event. In fact, that would be a most logical way to have it; simply ignore anything unwanted when entered.
    If you want to allow the user to enter anything, but "clean it up" when done, you would place your code in the Validate event. You will have to adjust your Regular Expression so that it works globally, but that's the whole difference. This will change the value.
    Note that you can also enter the code into the Format event. However, that would only change the visual representation of the value, but internally, the value would remain as entered.
    Hope this can help.

  • How to remove space below text?

    In the screenshot below, how to remove space below text? I simply added a text box using the type tool and I get that extra space bellow the letter "B" that I don't need. I want to remove that space to center the letter within the octogon.
    Thanks!

    You might consider giving the letter a negative baseline shift and aligning it to centre.
    That way you can adjust it so that its anchor point coincides with the centre of the hexagon.
    Like this:
    Another thing: You may find it easier working with type if you hide bounding boxes.

  • How do I remove space after paragraph?

    Does Robohelp have the "Remove Space after paragraph" button for reducing the space between lines, like the one in Word?

    In HTML the space after is controlled by the style in your CSS file. You need to edit the style in the Style Editor.
    See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

    There are many more but this is enough to show you. I need to remove all spaces from the First and Third Columns. I need to remove all (--) from the fourth. Where do I put in the substitute function and what is source sting, existing-string, new-string, and occurrence.
    Thank You for your help.

  • How do I remove spaces and special characters from the file name during rendering?

    I understand that I can set LR_renamingTokensOn to true, but I would like to replace all spaces in the file name with an underscore and remove characters not in the range A-Z and 0-9. What's the easiest way to achieve this?

    local photo = catalog:getTargetPhoto()
    local sesn = LrExportSession {
        photosToExport = { photo },
        exportSettings = {
            -- ... (determine from export preset) - whatev you want, just be sure you set export directory: LR_export_destinationPathPrefix
            LR_tokens = "{{custom_token}}",
            LR_tokenCustomString = LrPathUtils.removeExtension( photo:getFormattedMetadata( 'fileName' ) ):gsub( "[ %c]", "" ) -- remove spaces and control characters
    sesn:doExportOnNewTask()

  • Any method to remove the required field option in the runtime process

    I've added the required actions n callable objects for the design time and when i run it in the runtime, there are actually required field that we need to fill in before the interactive form appear. Is there any way that I can remove the required field and fill in the interactive form?
    Can anyone help me answer my qn?
    Thanks.

    Just access the total textfield and make it visible = false;
    oForm.Items.Item("29").Visible = false; //The field
    oForm.Items.Item("30").Visible = false; //The label
    If that doesn't work try setting the left property to something that will never come into view no matter how large you make the window... Something like this
    oForm.Items.Item("29").Left = 5000; //The field
    oForm.Items.Item("30").Visible = 5000; //The label

  • How to remove space from a variable in a smartform

    Hi,
    I have a problem in displaying a variable in a smartform..The variable shows some blank space that preceeds the data.
    for eg:,
    variable =        18.000.
    How to remove space before 18.000?

    To remove the decimal places for quantity and rate/quantity , use the syntax to restrict the number of digits after decimal places. The syntax is
    &symbol(.N)&
    where N is number of decimal places.
    Since you dont want decimals use &symbol(.0)&
    For the other case it depends on how the currency is represented , any way try using the syntex &symbol(T)&
    Please give me reward point If it is useful
    Thanks

  • How remove space in column ?

    In a.newunit column I have spaces before data. I tried to use TRIM and LTRIM -- but doesn't work :(
    What else I can use?
    SELECT LTRIM(u.scode), LTRIM(a.newunit)
    FROM unit u,
    aaa_test a
    WHERE LTRIM(u.scode) = LTRIM(a.newunit)

    Can you explain what "doesn't work" means, preferrably with an example (i.e. DDL for the Unit and AAA_Test tables, INSERT statements, and a query that returns the incorrect results)?
    TRIM will remove spaces at the beginning and end of a value, LTRIM will remove spaces at the beginning of a value. Potentailly, you don't really have spaces at the beginning of your data. Potentially, you are misinterpreting something (in which case seeing what constitutes "not working" is critical).
