Would be great if Regex Editor and AI assist was added into AttributeTrimmer rather than having to use the Regex functions in text editor, which are clunkier. In fact, it could go in any and all string transformers where you are trying to identify, use or replace a substring.Β
Question
Expand regex editor to AttributeTrimmer

AttributeTrimmer only remove leading and trailing characters of an attribute.
It would be weird to use regex here.
Β
You might want to use the StringReplacer instead, which can use regex and replaceΒ with no character.

How about if I want to left trimΒ [^\w] down to nothing?

Yes, but left/right trim, not replacing in the middle of a string (which is what this would do, right?)

^ mean the start of the string
$ mean the end of the string
Β
^\w* litteraly translate to βall word characters (from 0 to x) at the beginning of the stringβ

So this is a left trim, it will not replace value in the middle of your value
Ah. Many thanks
