If you want to try the example for yourself, download the file and upload it to your domain clicking Data upload in the navigation pane. Name the new table my.upload.trim.operation and select Current date as Date parsing type. Learn more about uploading data in Uploading log files.

After receiving the confirmation message, you can access the table from the Finder, selecting my → upload → trim → operation. When you upload data from a file, all the information is included in a single column called message. To split the values and extract those we need for this operation into a new column, you can use the Split operation. Click Toggle Query Editor in the search window toolbar and paste the following LINQ query to save time:

from my.upload.trim.operation
select split(message, ",", 0) as `-1to1Values`

...

Use the operator select... as...  and add the operation syntax to create the new column. This is the syntax of the Trim both sides operation:

  • trim(string)

Example

Copy the following LINQ script and try the above example:

Code Block
from my.upload.trim.operation
select split(message, ",", 0) as `-1to1Values`
select trim(`-1to1Values`) as usrcol1
