This might be misunderstanding of the meaning of "whitespace" as stated by the "String Trimming" Action documentation.
Observed on FinalBuilder 6.3.0.1816 (and the previous version).
The "String Trimming" Action documentation says that "The String Trimming Action allows you to remove white space from the beginning or end of a string." However, it does not remove tab characters (a rather typical white space character) (I did not check other types of whitespace).
However, the "Set Variable" has a similar feature, namely the Modifier "Trim whitespace from ... string" that does.
- Set Variable Trim1 to Trim[ %Test% ]
- String Trimming (Test to Trim2)
- Log Variable Values [ Test,Trim1,Trim2 ]
With the project variable Test set to a string containing tab characters copied from Notepad. The output between Trim1 and Trim2 will differ in that Trim2 still has tab characters.
I've attached a simple comparison wherein two variables are copied from a test variable that has trailing tab characters and leading space characters.
