# Trim

## Overview

![The Trim Node.](https://1553081948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FU990HLHWA30dTfELtDUK%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-17a38c72ea664a36d76537182219b56098380718%2Ftrimnode20241.png?alt=media)

The **Trim** **Node** trims certain chosen characters from a **String**. It receives as **Input** a **String** to be trimmed and the characters to trim, and it outputs the trimmed **String**.

For example, trimming the characters "ab" from the **String** "babbaacababa" results in the trimmed **String** "c".

[**Scope**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/overview#scopes): **Project**, **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.
