Hi, is there a way to clear non-ascii characters within a field input in a workflow step without doing find & replace for every new eventuality? I have a field where users can input a resume text, but many times there are non-ascii characters like a strange bullet, dash, or single curly quote that is breaking the API flow. I find I need to do a new find & replace every time I discover a new item.
Have you tried Regex?
Like @GH5T suggested, you can try using find & replace with regex checkbox checked and some expression like [^\x00-\x7F] to get any non-ASCII characters so you can replace by empty value.
Would that automatically take care of all non ascii characters or do I still need to call out each one as I discover them when they cause a problem?
Okay, this seemed to work. However, after some troubleshooting, I realized it needed to be the first find and replace. I had it coming after some other find and replace used for things like escaping. For some reason, it didn’t work when it was the last find and replace item.
