In other words, we don’t need to decode… we need to strip all of the HTML tags.
Does anyone know an easy way to do this in SnapLogic? Otherwise, I the only option seems to be to build a library that knows how to do it. But someone else must have already invented that mouse trap, eh. Thanks - Davey
Ha… this website is rich text, and renders the HTML tags instead of showing them to you. 😉
Let’s try this: Convert THIS… <html>\r\n<head>\r\n<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">\r\n<style type="text/css" style="display:none;"><!-- P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;} --></style>\r\n</head>\r\n<body dir="ltr">\r\n<div id="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-size:12pt;color:#000000;font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;" dir="ltr">\r\n<p></p>\r\n<div>This<br>\r\nis<br>\r\na<br>\r\nplain<br>\r\ntext<br>\r\nbody?</div>\r\n<p></p>\r\n<p><br>\r\n</p>\r\n</div>\r\n</body>\r\n</html>\r\n
… to plain text.
When writing a post in the Commuity, there is a Preformatted text option you can use with scripts to prevent it converting.
