Need to remove some properties from Junit xml report generated through SOAPUI (open source) - jenkins-plugins

Question

While running my API test via jenkins(linux machine), its generating Junit report xml with some invalid character in properties tags.
<property name="LESS_TERMCAP_us" value="[04;38;5;111m"/>
Due to which jenkins throws error for invalid xml.
How can I remove properties from the generated xml.
Thanks in advance.

Here you go, comments in-line:
Pass the xml as string to parseText method.
//Pass xml string
def pxml = new XmlSlurper().parseText(xml)
//Get the suites
def suites = pxml.'**'.findAll{ it.name() == 'testsuite' }
//Remove properties node
suites.each{ it.properties.replaceNode {} }
//This gives the new xml without properties element
def output = groovy.xml.XmlUtil.serialize(pxml)​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
//Below would unescape the xml
def map = ['<' : '<', '>' : '>', '"' : '"', '&apos;':'\'', '&':'&']
map.collect {k,v -> output = output.replaceAll(k,v)}
println output​
