Trim the left side (ltrim)
- Juan Tomás Alonso Nieto (Deactivated)
Description
Removes all the extra spaces from the beginning of a string.
How does it work in the search window?
This operation needs only one argument:
Argument | Data type |
|---|---|
String to be trimmed mandatory | string |
The data type of the new column is string.
Example
Select Create field from the query toolbar and select Trim the left side as the operation. Call it trim_left.
The arguments needed are:
String to be trimmed - -1to1Values field
The result is not visible in the interface, since the search window table automatically trims blank spaces at both sides of the strings. Select Download from the toolbar and download the data as a CSV to see the data trimmed.
How does it work in LINQ?
Use the operator select... as... and add the operation syntax to create the new column. This is the syntax of the Trim the left side operation:
ltrim(string)
Example
Copy the following LINQ script and try the above example:
from my.upload.trim.operation
select split(message, ",", 1) as `-1to1Values`
select ltrim(`-1to1Values`) as usrcol1
