URL File extra spaces

[Thomas McGrath III]

I don't know what the heck is going on here. I can't even filter the resulting field without spaces.

filter field "Input" without spaces

yet the field still has the spaces

I then in a button tried with one of the spaces selected and get 32 so I know it's a space:

answer charToNum(the selectedText of field "Input")

Then why does the filter not work????


aaargh
