Description

This software offers a solution to users who want to remove text between specified characters or text strings. The user simply adds required files or an entire folder before entering the leading and trailing text strings. There is an option to add “Enter” (carriage return) after removal and another to remove the actual leading and trailing strings along with the text between them. Sample files are included as an aid for new users. With this user-friendly and time saving application, removal of specified data from large numbers of files takes just one click.

I have a column that has a text string with various lengths. What I’m trying to do is remove text that starts with “|” and ends with “;”. The text between those two characters is always going to be 36 characters. There can be multiple occurrences and what is between the two characters will vary from row to row. I cannot use VB only a formula.

Example:

Here is my text string:

JavaScript comes with a globally available String class. It provides dozens of useful methods for string transformations. For example, you may lowercase or uppercase a given string, replace parts of the string value, or check whether a string value includes a given term.

This tutorial shows you how to remove extra spaces from a string. Removing extra spaces results in a string value where words are separated by a single space.

Remove Extra Spaces From a String

Use JavaScript’s string.replace() method with a regular expression to remove extra spaces. The dedicated RegEx to match any whitespace character is \s. Expand the whitespace selection from a single space to multiple using the \s+ RegEx.

Combine the string.replace() method and the RegEx and replace it with a single string. Notice the starting and ending spaces will be kept and stripped down to a single space. Trim any surrounding spaces from the string using JavaScript’s string.trim() method:

The download manager is a system service that handles long-running HTTP downloads. Clients may request that a URI be downloaded to a particular destination file. The download manager will conduct the download in the background, taking care of HTTP interactions and retrying downloads after failures or across connectivity changes and system reboots.
