Hi,

I have an RSS feed where I need to trim the <description> element below. I want to use substring-before() on the &lt;, but I can’t figure out the right syntax in the data mapper to search for the string literal ‘&lt;’. Any ideas?

<description>

House of...&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

</description>

  This can be achieved by using

   Substring-before(Source schema x-path, '<' ) 

  function on target element of mapping. Also make sure the <description> field is defined in a single line.
