help needed with regular expression

Submitted by tobyhage on Sun, 2017-06-25 21:25 in Feed Management and Administration

David,

Sorry to ask this, but i'am terrible with regular expressions.
I tried a normal search and replace and this is also not working.

I have a feed where they use this kind of codes in the description field:

<lt/>br /<gt/><lt/>br /<gt/><lt/>b<gt/>

and i want this to be replaced with the html codes

<br /><br /><b>

i already have the correct filters, but don't know how to use them:

i had a normal search replace with:

search: &lt;lt/&gt;

replace: <

and another one with this:

search: &lt;gt/&gt;

replace: >

but this is not working. Hopefully you can help me with this....

Hello Toby,

There is code for an HTML Entity Decode filter in this comment which is probably the easiest solution...

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.

David,

The HTML Entity Decode filter was not working. I have found the solution:

I configured two search and replace filters with following values:

search: &lt;lt/&gt;

replace: &lt;

and

search: &lt;gt/&gt;

replace: &gt;
