Is there a way to ignore non breaking spaces ( ) changes ?

[justme6666]

Hi guys,

I've been trying to ignore the non breaking spaces from my css selector results, but I am having trouble finding the right regex to ignore it. Or changedetection.io does not support this feature yet ? I did select "Ignore Whitespaces" from the Global configuration, but that doesn't seem to help, as I keep getting false positives.

I am using the CSS selector to check the changes for the "amount" field as shown in the snippet bellow:

Changedetection.io successfully checks the changes in the field "amount" , however the problem arises when changedection.io also checks for the &nbsp changes along with the "amount" field . How to ignore the &nbsp from the searches and only keep the changes in "amount" field ?

I attached a screenshot of the changes as shown in my notifications. As you can see, there are lots of notifications for changes in &nbsp even though the amount of "1" is the same, so this is causing me a lot of false positives, because I only wish to follow the changes in the "amount" field and ignore all non breaking spaces

Your help is greatly appreciated.

we are not mind readers, please be more specific, we are not sitting next to you

• what version exactly
• what notification backend exactly
• provide a snippet of the HTML that causes it (attach it as a text file)
• provide your CSS rule

This discussion seems to be stable so I post my data instad since I'm having the same issue.

• Tested on version v0.39.14
• Url to watch: http://asdfast.beobit.net/api/?type=word (Returns new text on every page visit)
• Notification backend: Telegram (using the global settings)
• Notification title:

{watch_title}

• Notification body:

{watch_url}
{diff_url}
{diff}

• Fetch method: Basic fast Plaintext/HTTP Client
• Global filters:
  • Ignore whitespace
• No additional settings set for the request

The content changes are visualized on the website as intended:

But this is the content of the message:

http://asdfast.beobit.net/api/?type=word
https://[my-domain]/diff/a9c5f242-f4ea-474e-9f6b-0596d654d35f
(changed)     "text": "Tur libero sdonec rproin hendre.",
(into   )     "text": "Tur laoree urient ndisse enimphas.",

I think the problem is that Telegram doesn't convert   to a space character.

Yes, I was using Telegram as well in my report....

This is an issue with Apprise: caronc/apprise#585. Apparently already fixed in master, so we're just waiting for the release.

Edit: Built the image myself, replacing the current Apprise version with git+https://github.com/caronc/apprise.git - can confirm, it works like a charm, no more   in Telegram notifications

Thanks a lot for the details and reference to the apprise issue.
