Need to remove unwanted XML hidden space elements

[Ashrafali_r]

Hi All,

This is the XML project. I need to compare the TOC and chapter headings. When we tried to compare, we have captured the paragraph contents using paragraph styles (  "chapterHeadings.push(currentParagraph.contents);"  ). 

It was captured the actual text with XML hidden space elements(before and after). Because of the hidden elements we couln't be able to compare the actual text. You can find the attached screenshots.

Could someone help me to clear the hidden space elements without untagging?

Thanks in Advance,

Check what Unicode you'll get in the .contents and then use JS replace() to remove it.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the details. But we are unable to findout the Unicode. Please let us know the unicode for that element or can we get anyother ways to remove?

Thanks in advance,

I'm not JS guy - but quick googling returned:
