Help is needed as remove_regex is not working as expected

[tillcash]

Could you please assist me? I'm attempting to remove some text, but it's not functioning as anticipated.

source: https://www.thenewsminute.com/api/v1/collections/tamil-nadu.rss

  - path: /newsminute.xml
    filters:
      - sanitize:
          - remove_regex: '<p><strong>Read.*?<\/strong><\/p>'

The reason it doesn't work is because there is a confusion between the content field and the description field. Currently, rss-funnel only recognizes the description field, so it doesn't perform any filtering in the content field.

Try this:

  - path: /newsminutes.xml
    source: https://www.thenewsminute.com/api/v1/collections/tamil-nadu.rss
    filters:
      - modify_post: |
          post.description = post.content;
          post.content = null;
      - sanitize:
          - remove_regex: "<p><strong>Read.*?<\/strong><\/p>"

Nonetheless, I have noted it as a bug that needs fixing. After it's been fixed, there will be no need for the modify_post filter.

Thanks, it's working now. I tried a lot before asking for help.

Somehow, the media:thumbnail url got combined into the content field in the RSS reader. I need to get rid of the ?w=280 from the media:thumbnail url so that the image can show up in its full size. Can you please explain how I can do this?

Try this:

  - path: /newsminutes.xml
    source: https://www.thenewsminute.com/api/v1/collections/tamil-nadu.rss
    filters:
      - modify_post: |
          post.description = post.content;
          post.content = null;
          let thumbnail = post.extensions.media.thumbnail[0];
          if (thumbnail) {
            thumbnail.attrs.url = thumbnail.attrs.url.replace(/\?w=.*/, "");
          }
      - sanitize:
          - remove_regex: "<p><strong>Read.*?<\/strong><\/p>"

All the raw fields that can be modified in JavaScript code can be found from the Json view next to Raw and Rendered radio button.
