Parsing data in table fields

[Jeremyramirez12]

We are getting issues when getting data from ServiceNow because of the "zero-width whitespace" characters. How do I parse data found in tables to remove this?

Hello @Jeremyramirez12 

please refer below logic to replace the zero-width whitespace characters 
Here I'm taking  an example like  zero-width whitespace characters (like \u200B, \u200C, \u200D, \uFEFF, etc.) 
So you can use the regular expression for this to remove the  zero-width whitespace" characters

function removeZeroWidthChars(input) {
if (!input) return input;
return input.replace(/[\u200B-\u200D\uFEFF]/g, ' ');
}
