Hi,

 

I have a bunch of documents read into alteryx by directory tool.

Some have a space before .doc/.docx. 

 

How can I remove that?

 

Ie:   cool_document .doc

 

should be cool_document

 

thanks

You could have tried data cleansing tool as well where you can select remove all spaces.
this would have provided same output.
