create shortcode using a prexisting shortcode

Hi,

I’m trying to extract the data of the shortcode [map_location] or [LOCATION]. As it stand now, both those shortcodes output the listing location but wrap the the data in HTML. I need to strip the HTML. I saw a similar post and it was suggested creating a custom shortcode.

I’m not a PHP progammer but I’ve managed to create a custom shortcode. What I haven’t been able to do is figure out how to reference the existing shortcodes and just extract what I need.

I did find where the shortcode [LOCATION] is stated. It’s in the file class_core.php and starts on line 3513.

If anyone more knowledgeable would mind helping me out, I’d really appreciate it.

I’m using a child theme and have created the custom shortcode in the functions file. I’m assuming that what’s been done for the shortcode [LOCATION] can also be done for my custom shortcode, minus the HTML.

Anyone?
