Trim Post-processing Function

The Trim Post-processing function can be used in agents, to remove comma separated characters from both side of the string. For example, I have this scraping agent “TrimStart Function Example(Post-processing)” in my account and I want to remove (') character from both side of the string in each row of the Contact field. Here, I can use Trim Post-processing function to remove this character.
