Hi Russell, also keep in mind, that Cheetah is just python. Maybe you can try to do something like that: $text.strip() or str($text).strip() Cheers, Bjoern

I want to add a filter to strip whitespace and newlines from a text input box so I can pipe the sanitized string to a command.

Documentation is a bit sparse (and my Python a bit basic) so does anyone have an example?

Perhaps there’s a better way of doing it – regex maybe?

Any ideas?

Thanx,

--Russell
