Hi Adnan, you cannot replace strings within the title, but you can replace globally. So instead of:

title: replace_string(a): b

you will have to do:

replace_string(a): b

Of course this might affect content in the body too.

Well, i have tried this

replace_string(exapmlewordavailableinfeed): adnan

to test tried to put it after

prune: no

not worked in both body & title, in the end of the file also not worked in both body & title

my version is 2.8, my feed language is arabic

this is my file

prune: no
body: //div[@class=’ main_focus’]/img | //div[@class=‘main_content_ip’]/p
strip: //iframe[@id=‘iframe1’]

Please note that:

I need to only use this for some symbols like “ & ” not for words

@adnan

i use ver 3.2

when the content want to replace have some symbol on title/content like (&, %, #, ~) it never execute with the engine (for some domain). so, i use yahoo pipes service to replacing that for fast cleanup.

that’s my opinion :slight_smile:
