Remove content from a wordpress.com feed using yahoo pipes


I am using yahoo pipes to get content matching a certian category from my WordPress.com Blog. Everything is working fine but WordPress adds "share" links to the bottom of the feed that I would like to remove.

Here is what's being added:

<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/bandonrandon.wordpress.com/87/">
    <img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/bandonrandon.wordpress.com/87/"/></a>
    <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bandonrandon.wordpress.com&blog=1046814&post=87&subd=bandonrandon&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1"/>

I edited out some of the services but you get the idea. I tried to use regex to remove this content what I tried was this:

<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/.*?><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com.*?></a>

and

<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com.*?>

however it didn't fileter the results at all. Using this would filter ALL images and works fine

<a.*?><img.*?></a>

Solution

  • <a[^>]+href="http://feeds.wordpress.com[^"]*"[^>]*>\s*<img[^>]+src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/[^"]*"[^>]*>\s*</a>\s*<img[^>]+src="http://stats.wordpress.com/[^"]*"[^>]*>
    

    Regex updated, try that to match the whole lot.
