Remove spacing from string
Standard member
Example: this is a test string
Output: thisisateststring
I checked out $TRIM and $DEEP_CLEAN and thought these would do the trick, but I guess I'm not fully understanding the definition of "white-space".
Any suggestions?

HTML won't show runs of multiple white-spaces (it'll just show 1 instead), but it won't strip them all.
If you just miswrote, and it's only reducing multiple white-spaces to 1, then applying the CSS 'white-space: pre' will make them show, although this also stops word-wrapping.

You need to use the 'REPLACE' symbol to literally replace the space character with blank.
