Need help with removing trailing zeros

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello.

 

I need help with replacing zeros in the string.

I have a string that is the output of the network packet. There are some trailing zeros in the packet. 

I cannot see them in normal view, but the size of the string tells me that it is bigger then it looks.

When I switch to hex view, you can see zeros.

I tried to use search/replace function and use to find 0 and replace with empty string constant. But, fro some reason it was not removing zeros.

 

I need to stop string after *69.

Show your code.  You don't want to search and replace zeroes.  Those 00 in hex view show they are null characters.  (non-printable byte with value of zero).  You need to search and replace on that character.  (replace string should look like 00 when it is set to show hex code.

An alternative to the Search And Replace String here would be Match Pattern.
