## Example

Suppose you want to **trim** your input strings by removing a series of characters **from their right side**:

1. In your Pipeline, open the required [Action](https://docs.onum.com/the-workspace/pipelines/actions) configuration and select the input **Field**.
2. In the **Operation** field, choose **Trim string right**.
3. Set **Characters to trim** to `!`. This will remove all exclamation marks from the right side.
4. Give your **Output field** a name and click **Save**. The input strings will be trimmed, removing all exclamation marks from the right side.

For example:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
"Hello, World!!!" -> "Hello, World"
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You can try out operations with specific values using the **Input** field above the operation. You can enter the value in the example above and check the result in the **Output** field.
{% endhint %}
