Hello World

Please see the screendump and attached file.
What is the character to the left in all lines ?
It is NOT whitespace.
I can see it but when I try to copy it and use Replace action it doesn't work.

Any advice ?

I think they are white space. I used replace to replace all spaces with X and this is the result:

Remember that to replace whitespace you need to use %' '%

It could be that you used Trim text and thought it has to be something else since it doesn't trim the spaces in the second row. Thats because it trims only whitespaces from the begining and the end of the whole text content.

So you need to either loop each row individually or use regex to match white space that is at the end or at the begining of the line
