Ok, so I can’t find anything on ADDING a space to replace special characters. How do I add a space to the “replacement text” field? It’s not working if I just put a space in my text variable. Please help, as I want to split by spaces.
Hi
This looks similar to this post for O365.
My suggestion there may help here.
Hi
Did Simon’s response help answer your question?
You can’t add a space directly in the input of an action. The input is automatically trimed.
For simplicity, I suggest changing the replacement char. (For exemple a - or a string empty).
If your realy want a space char, you can generate it :
1- Create a String variable, that is never initiated (So, with this variable, you will have an empty string).
2- With an ‘Apply a regular expression’ you will generate you space.
This is the configuration of the Regular expression :
So : We will replace the “a” char in the texte “a a” by an empty string, and store the first result in a variable colled “Space”. And as a result (the value of your variable ‘speace’) will be a space char. And so, you will be able to replace your special char by a space.

Brilliant, I will have to try this!
