Topic: Remove HTML from RSS using yahoo pipes - How to
Hi all..
I was goofing around with Yahoo Pipes trying to clean up a feed and finally figured out how to remove all HTML tags from an RSS Feed, so I figured I better post this.
Start with a "Fetch Feed", fill in your RSS feed to get data from.
Add an Operator - REGEX,
Link the two to populate the fields.
In my case I just needed the HTML stripped from the description, so I selected item.description in the first regex field.
Then added: Lessthan-period-astrisk-questionmark-greaterthan (Just it case it doesn't publish right on the forum)
<.*?>
to the "replace" field and left the "with" field blank.
Then check the "G", so it loops through the data.
Finally connect the REGEX to the output and test.
Example Pipe: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info? … bnON2R2EvQ
You could used the same method by adding more expressions to the REGEX to filter all HTML from the other fields as well.
Hope this helps...
