cli syntax for bulk removal of spaces

Computing Services

Hi, 

Complete newbie here. I am using the confluence command line interface Bob Swift add on and all I really want to do is bulk remove spaces by using the space key. What is the syntax for multiple spaces?

i've tried 

--action removeSpace --space "AD2,AD1,AD3,AD4"

 --action removeSpace --space "AD2","AD1","AD3","AD4"

Can't seem to find a definite answer anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello Team! Using CLI can sometimes be tricky. But according to documentation, you could do something like this:

 

--action runFromContentList --cql "space in spc1,spcx,spc23w" --common '-action removeSpace --space @space@' --continue

Here is a little explanation of the line above:

- runFromContentList
This will run the command for each entry that is found. For example, the CQL given will return the results as being the spaces that match the search

- removeSpace
This will remove the space based on the variable @space@ that is being returned by the runFromContentList

- continue
Will keep executing even if errors are found, like a not found error

You can check further information here:

- CLI Documentation
- How to use replacement variables

I recommend running the above command in a Test Environment before running in a Live one. Make sure that you only remove the desired content!
