How Do I Resolve Problems with Non-Breaking Spaces?

Prev Next

On rare occasions, a non-breaking space is used in data rather than the standard space/extra character. When a non-breaking space is used as part of an amount in Regional Profiles or in the script, it will cause display issues as it is not supported.

The non-breaking space has a HEX value of C2 A0, while the standard space has a HEX value of 20. A tool that enables users to see HEX values will alert you to any problems.

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

  1. Before opening the Form Engine, open a Binary Filter modifier and click the Setup tab.

  2. In the Find Regular Expression box, enter the non-breaking space HEX value xC2\xA0.

The non-breaking space is then removed.

Info

If you wish to replace the non-breaking space with a standard space, enter x20 into the Replace With box.
