RazorBlade - Text.First() lets you pick a value from many variables

#4 RazorBlade - Text.Zip() lets you shrink all spaces, tabs, enters together

Razorblade - Text.After(), Text.AfterLast(), Text.Before(), Text.BeforeLast(), Text.Between()

RazorBlade Text.Zip(...) v1.1

These demos show how to Zip (clean/compress) text properly, because Razor Blade handles a lot of issues you'll usually have cleaning up text. Scenarios might be:

Multi-line text
Cleane-up html, which may have more spaces and line-breaks than expected
Just any text pasted from somewhere, which could even contain surprise white-space

Requirements

RazorBlade 3.09

Resources

Text.Zip(...)

Example Text

The example texts which have invisible problem characters:

This contains multi-spaces and ↦↦↦ tabs
This has ↵ ↵ line-breaks

Correct and incorrect Character Counts

Html output hides the problems	Whitespace output showing problems	Length	Output using Text.Zip(...)	Zip Length
This contains multi-spaces and tabs	This contains multi-spaces and tabs	46	This contains multi-spaces and tabs	35
This has line-breaks	This has line-breaks	25	This has line-breaks	20
