Removing whitespace HTTP:payload

Parsing a XML POST and sending to specific pool based upon the call using findstr - my issue is sometimes I am getting XML calls with whitespace/newline or not.

 

 

Does a method/function exist to remove whitespace or newline characters within a variable (containing several lines/characters of information)?

    Hi Christopher,

     

     

    You can use string map (Click here) to do string substitutions: [string map [list " " "" "\n" ""] $str]

     

     

    % set str {value with spaces

     

     

    and

     

     

    new lines}

     

     

    % string map [list " " "" "\n" "" "with" "without"] $str
