String to remove HTML tags from

Returns

String that has been cleared of HTML tags

This method will remove all HTML tags from the string that is passed in. This is very convenient if you need to scrape just the text off of a web page that you have loaded from file or from the web. Everything that is inside < ... > tags is removed along with the "<" and ">" characters.

Example:

ITS ITStringClass

S String(4000)

Code

S = '<html><body>This is a test web page</body></html'

S = ITS.RemoveHTML(S)

Message('Stripped HTML = ' & S)

S now contains "This is a test web page"
