Have you ever struggled with removing links from a text that you've transformed from HTML into text? If so, you're not alone. Many Make.com users have faced this challenge, especially when dealing with newsletters received via RSS and using text parsers.

Problem

The main issue here is configuring a text parser to remove links from the text. This can be a bit tricky, especially if you're not familiar with pattern codes.

Solution

Fortunately, there's a simple solution to this problem. You just need to use the right pattern code in the Replace module. Here's the pattern code you need to use:

http\S*?

This pattern code will effectively remove all links from your text.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Transform your HTML into text using a text parser.
  2. Configure a second text parser to remove links from the text.
  3. Use the pattern code http\S*? in the Replace module of the second text parser.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're still having trouble after following these steps, make sure you're entering the pattern code correctly. Remember, it's http\S*? with no spaces.
