Drop record containing apostrophe

Submitted by ChrisNBC on Fri, 2015-02-27 17:05 in

Hi David,

Hope all is going well.

I wondered if you might be able to help me....I need to drop records from a feed where the feed field contains an apostrophe. I have tried both the filters that I have for dropping records if not matched and neither seems to like apostrophes. I wondered if you could suggest if there is a filter already available that I could use for this purpose or if there is a way to remove apostrophes from the feed?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Chris

Hi Chris,

There's a couple of possibilities - the apostrophes may actually be represented as HTML entities so you would need to drop based on ' rather than a litteral apostrophe.

The other possibility is that it is an issue with magic quotes - see this thread for more information and fix, but if still no joy let me know and i'll check it out further with you of course...

Cheers,
David.
