Hi David,
This is not really a Magicparser issue, but I do hope you can help me.
The following feed sometimes contains >, which is being displayed as > in the output (which is technically correct):
http://www.zwedenweb.com/feed/cache.php?id=Cycletours&cachetime=1440
The best solution to fix this issue is of course fixing the feed. But since I am expecting that this will take a long time before the feed owner fixes it, I wondered if I could work around it.
So what I want to do is: if > exists in the description field, I want to display it like >.
So basically I need to change a string within an array field.
Can this be done?
Thanks in advance!!

P.S. The output of the feed is on http://www.zwedenweb.com/content/cycletours.php
Well, the XML feed says:
NIEUW> Schitterende natuur> Zweedse meren> Heerlijke schone lucht
Followed by more text
Therefore I assume that something went wrong with the input when they created the feed.
Anyway, your solution worked like a charm! Thanks!

Hi Jasper,
Sure - you can just use str_replace() on the descrption field as required before you use it. I'm slightly confused here as if & has been entity decoded by the parse (as it should have been), then the resulting description should contain >. Either way, if that is what is coming out of the feed literally, then it could be changed as follows:
$record["DESCRIPTION"] = str_replace(">",">",$record["DESCRIPTION"])Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
