Having issues with Trim() for Double whitespaces.

Hello,

Running the following command, I’m seeing double whitespaces that I need to have removed:

"Heartbeat.vbs : Value" -replace '(Heartbeat.vbs)','' -replace '(:)',''.Trim() 

From everything I’ve read, the “.Trim()” should remove all leading and trailing whitespaces: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/System.String_methods(v=vs.110).aspx

The end result, I want to just see the word “Value”. Referred to other questions in this subreddit, and various forums, but I can’t seem to get this to work.

Now if I were to take the output from the command above, and perform the following, it works:

$InitialTrim = "Heartbeat.vbs : Value" -replace '(Heartbeat.vbs)','' -replace '(:)',''.Trim() Write-Host $InitialTrim.trim() 

The problem, is that I need to keep this as a stored variable within a script. I don’t want it to write to the prompt. I ultimately need the following script variable created:

$TrimVariable = "Value" 

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Thanks!
