    • replaceWithEmptyString

      String[] replaceWithEmptyString
      Replace these strings in the Datatable with empty strings.

      A data table can only represent absent and non-empty strings. By replacing a known value (for example [empty]) a data table can also represent empty strings.

      It is not recommended to use multiple replacements in the same table.

      Returns:
      strings to be replaced with empty strings.
      Default:
      {}
