I’m not sure what you mean. I see “123 abc”. Is the value of the Text Input’s Text something else like this?
```auto
"123 abc "
```

Are you wanting to convert “123 abc” to “123abc”? Please give a specific example.
**Edit:** you can use the Replace All block in the Text drawer to remove ALL spaces from a text string:
Just change the “a” to " " (a space) and delete the “b”. Replace “abc” with your text input’s text.

That’s almost it. The _replace all_ block already has quotes so you don’t need to add them. The box to the right of _replace all_ should only contain a space, nothing else. Delete everything in it and press the space bar once.
If you’re still having trouble, post a link to your project.
