Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Expecting all whitespace removal

Solution: Trim only removes leading/trailing spaces. Internal spaces stay. Use find/replace or "collapse spaces" for internal cleanup.

⚠️

Not handling tabs and newlines

Solution: Trim removes spaces, tabs, newlines at edges. But " " (blank lines) may remain. Use "remove empty lines" if needed.

⚠️

Forgetting non-breaking spaces

Solution: Non-breaking space ( ) looks like space but isn't trimmed by basic trim. Convert to regular space first.
