Remove Post-processing Function

Remove Post-processing function can be used in agents to remove some text from extracted field result when we exactly know the start index and the number of character needs to be removed. For example, I have this scraping agent “Remove Function Example(Post-Processing)” in my account and I want to remove the text as Product from the field ProductName in each row. So, I can use the built-in Remove Post-processing function here.
