So, I need to compare 2 strings ... the description from a NetSuite line

Benzonase, purity grade II (>90%) for biotechnology

to an incoming CSV line

Benzonase, purity grade II (>90%) for biotechnology

... so, the question is, how can I force the

>

to convert to

>

so that these will match?

There’s loads of different ways of doing this on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5796718/html-entity-decode One of them will work, maybe

So, lodash and _.unescape

SA 14563 mentions a few global functions, available in both SS 1 and 2, for encoding and decoding URI’s: encodeURI/decodeURI, escape/unescape, & encodeURIComponent/decodeURIComponent

Interesting

have you tried xml.escape? https://1032646-sb1.app.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4392331185.html on the csv line.
