I am using a mashapp with an rss feed using cnn economic news. The description field is showing a piece of text() I do not want to show in my mash app can someone explain how I can remove it please?
Example of the result: (the part in italic I would like to exclude)

Senators are expected to start voting Wednesday on changes to a Wall Street reform bill that has been more than a year in the making.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rss/money_news_economy/~4/qkl3N6ajDyU" height="1" width="1"/>

Stefan,
You can remove the text by using the text manipulation operators. First, the start position of the HTML tag is searched. In a second step the text is extracted and copied to a different column starting by position 0 and ending with the index returned by the search operation.
Best regards, Markus

Applying one of the RSS templates to the XML data source successfully converts the RSS-structure into a table. Attributes such as author, publication date and title are converted into feed columns.
In case of trouble you may select the raw-debug option - which is represented by one of the top right buttons of the debugger. It enables you to inspect the XML as MashZone receives it without interpretation.
