Granted, a proper XML parse of the input field is better. I didn't see an
obvious solution at first, but I did run across this:
"Use a fielddatasource for reading field from database and then use
xpathentityprocessor. Field datasource will give you the stream that is
needed by xpathentity processor."

That answer may serve the OP well, but I can't help but propagate this
link when the idea of parsing XML with regex comes up:

Subject: Index an xml filed that is saved in a database
Hi,
I have an XML document saved in a column of a database table. Is it
possible
to index just one part of that xml string, e.g. <content>.</content> with
the DIH handler or is it necessary to extract this information previously?
Thanks,
Ramo
