Split preformatted text (of web page) on paragraphs

philipp25

Hello,
I crawled multiple pages with the "get Pages"-Operator (Webmining Extension). All of the text of the website is in a <pre>-HTML-tag.
I want to cut the preformatted-text by the paragraphs. The "get Content"-Operator extracts the text perfectly, but destroys the formatting.

Any solution?

Thanks!

@philipp25 you need to define what you want to KEEP in the Cut Document regex expression. All you're keeping are the line breaks See this process:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><process version="9.2.001">

    <output/>
