Specify the tab character in the Trim() function as the character to be trimmed.

The tab character can be represented as Char(9).

Performance tip: Evaluate Char(9) when initializing a stage variable (perhaps called svTab). Then don't provide a derivation for this stage variable in the main part of the Transformer stage.

I could not able to mention the Tab Char in the Trim function. Do i have to mention Char(9) for it?

Thanks,

Could you try these functions with the strip characters

TrimB Remove all trailing spaces and tabs
TrimF Remove all leading spaces and tabs

It removes only the spaces, the source file has the "Tab Character" in it

Yes. And that is the resolution, not a 'workaround'.

Were you to follow my advice you would mention, in the Trim() function, the stage variable whose value has been initialized to Char(9).
