Find and replace with nothing in Pro attribute table

[DanielleKulas]

Thank you so much for adding the Find and Replace function to the attribute table in Pro, it's super useful! In ArcMap, we had the ability to find and replace contents of the attribute table with nothing if we wanted to, but that option is not available in Pro currently from what I can tell. Any way to bring this back? 

My use case is that I'm removing some unwanted HTML from my attribute table. When I set up the find and replace, the arrow(s) are inactive with no value in the Replace box. As a workaround I've been replacing with a space but it would be better if I could just remove the HTML altogether as I could with ArcMap. 

Thanks for your consideration!

two double(single) quotes is equivalent to an empty string eg ""

it is not the same as None since there is only one None

[DanielleKulas]

Oh, sorry I should have mentioned that I tried that. It put the "" in the attribute as two quotes though: 

Before

After

hmmmm  Definitely a good idea!

in the interim a little field calculation

obviously replacing your field name for More_Junk but leaving the enclosing ! !

Thanks! I knew there must be a better workaround! I appreciate it.

Yes, please do bring  back the ability to replace characters in the entire table with a blank as is available in ArcMap. We sometimes have to eliminate all special characters in a table in all the fields. This is one step in ArcMap, but "calculating" a replace in multiple fields is too time consuming.

Thanks

Implemented in ArcGIS Pro 2.8.

Thank YOU for pointing it out.

It isn't often in life when you want to replace something with nothing, but when you do, it sure is handy!
