yes, but this is not working here, if you know regex we can replace this with any other character
Can you share in a sample input string & the output you are expecting ?

simple bro I have to replace the \ with no space.
Ex. Today is a cool a \ day
Expected Result: Today is a cool a day
Note - Replace is not working here.
@balkishan - you can try with below
- textStrig.Replace(“\”," ")
- Regex(“\{1,}”).Replace(textStrig, " ")
I hope you have not tampered with the Imports & you should be getting the following function defination:

Hey, Here this function will not work because I am storing the data in a DataTable then convert into a string format. So I already checked the method which you mentioned it’s not working.
2nd method is wrong
Hey @Nithin_P & @balkishan
Add .trim to the end of your assign:
Variable1.Replace(“\ “,””).Trim
But put the first part with a space. i.e "\ "
I use it all the time and it works for me

Hi @balkishan
Hope you are doing good
Kindly just mention like this
Str_output = str_input.ToString.Replace.(“\”,””).ToString.Trim
This would work even if the backslash is at front or in middle or atlast of the string

Hi, Plani I’m doing great bro. Congrats to get the Leader Tag 
I’ve tried but it’s not working. If you see I am using the Extract DataTable the store the whole data in a String Variable using the Output Data Table. But if you see this is not coming in a string. initial text in string and the rest are not. So how can I remove the doube quotes in the middle. because of this this whole text is not in string format. And How can I remove the , "" from the middle. .Replace(“",”").trim is not working. See the attached snapshot.

Fine
Now do we need to replace double quotes or backslash
And is the value inside the datatable has any double quotes in them

Yes bro, In data table we have comes value with double quotes but when we store the whole value in a string variable using the Output Data Table activity then we have comes with the lot of backslash and this backslash is replacing by the above method. Basically I want to replace this pattern backslash with unique character so that the each line data can be easy untestable.
Hey @balkishan ,
Don’t know if this is what you’re after, but i find if you use multiple " in the replace it counts them as characters, not variable separators:
Variable1.ToString.Replace(“\ “””,“”).Trim
Hopefully this is what you’re after,

it can be done by replacing like this for doing in json, replace.yourstring(chr(92),"replacement string)
