After dividing a single string into a multi-value token in order to remove empty spaces I am trying to put the multi-value token back together using Apply Index.

I am leaving the separator empty so that it does not add any additional characters to my string but once I save the configuration and open it again it changes my settings to add Line Breaks characters

I am not looking to add anything to the string, just to remove unwanted characters. Is there another way to put the multi-value token back together to re-establish the original string?

Update: Took another shot at it this morning and found I can remove spaces within the pattern matching by using multiple parentheses and it still works even when getting mutliple dates into a multi-value field.

(\d\d?) ?(/\d\d?) ?(/\d\d\d\d)
