Good morning

I'm trying to replace some HTML code characters like (<) using Stringreplacer for a XML text. The strange thing is that not all characters are replaced. Few lines in the middle of the text kept the code character < (please check attached image below)

Any ideas ?

Thank you

I'm not sure I understand, "&lt;" isn't the same as "<" for the StringReplacer. Is that maybe the case here?

I'm with @david_r, if you use an Inspector before the StringReplacer, do you see "<" or "<"?

FME rocks! \m/

Agree, try "&alt;" instead or in combination with "<"

Good morning everyone and thank you very much for your answers.

Using an inspector before the StringReplacer show this result:

Actually as I Said before the StringRepplacer did all the changes in the text except for some few lines.

Thank you very much

I changed the location of the StringReplacer and this time the result is very good. I have no more of these HTML code characters.

Thank you and best regards.

May be, use a python caller to search and replace all lines of HTML code.
