How to remove HTML tags from a String ?

Hello,
How can I remove all HTML Tags from a String ?
Would you please to give me a simple example ?
Best regards,
Eric

Here's some code I cooked up. I have created an object that processes code so that it can be incorporated directly into a project. There is some redundancy so that the it can be used in more than one way. Depending on your situation you might have to make the condition statement a little more sophisticated to catch stray ">" tags.
I have also included a Tester application.
//This removes Html tags from a String either by submitting the String during construction and then
// calling getProcessedString() or
// by simply calling " stringwithoutTags=removeHtmlTags(stringWithTagsSubmission); "
//Note: This code assumes that all"<" tags are accompanied by a ">" tag in the proper order.
public class HtmlTagRemover
 private String stringSubmission,processedString,stringBeingProcessed;
 private int indexOfTagStart,indexOfTagEnd;
 public HtmlTagRemover()
 public HtmlTagRemover(String s)
 removeHtmlTags(s);
 public String removeHtmlTags(String s)
 stringSubmission=s;
 stringBeingProcessed=stringSubmission;
 removeNextTag();
 return processedString;
 private void removeNextTag()
 checkForNextTag();
 while((!(indexOfTagStart==-1||indexOfTagEnd==-1))&<indexOfTagEnd)
 removeTag();
 checkForNextTag();
 processedString=stringBeingProcessed;
 private void checkForNextTag()
 indexOfTagStart=stringBeingProcessed.indexOf("<");
 indexOfTagEnd=stringBeingProcessed.indexOf(">");
 private void removeTag()
 StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer("");
 sb.append(stringBeingProcessed);
 sb.delete(indexOfTagStart,indexOfTagEnd+1);
 stringBeingProcessed=sb.toString();
 public String getProcessedString()
 return processedString;
 public String getLastStringSubmission()
 return stringSubmission;
public class HtmlRemovalTester
 static void main(String[] args)
 String output;
 HtmlTagRemover h=new HtmlTagRemover();
 output="The processed String: "+h.removeHtmlTags("<Html tag>This is a test<another Html tag> string<yet another Html tag>.");
 output=output+"\n"+" The original string:"+h.getLastStringSubmission();
 System.out.print(output);

How to remove html tags from a column

Hi
Problem is this: I get a column with a comma separated list of id's and I can successfully parse these id's and use them elsewhere. BUT, occasionally there are html tags within that id list like this:
1082471,1237423 
Is there a way to just automatically remove all tags from a column? Could do this with regex, but since there is no support, I don't know what to do.

Hi,
If the HTML can be detected by a starting symbol like „<“, then you could use the following:
Unfortuntely the operation “ReplaceRange” is only available on a Text-level, so you have to invoke a function (at least to my knowledge). You also need an Index-column in your table, so if you don’t have it, you need to create one as well.
This is your function:
let
 fnRemoveHTML = (Value, Index) =>
let
 Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Tabelle1"]}[Content],
 IndeNo = Index,
 Value_ = Source{IndeNo-1}[Value],
 length = Text.Length(Text.From(Value_)),
 position = Text.PositionOf(Text.From(Value_), "<"),
 range = length-position,
 new= if Value_ is number then Value_ else Text.ReplaceRange(Value_, position, range, "")
in
 new
in
fnRemoveHTML
And this is how you invoke it:
let
 Quelle = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Tabelle1"]}[Content],
 Last = Table.AddColumn(Quelle, "Custom", each fn_RemoveHTML([Value], [Index])),
 ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Last,{{"Custom", type number}})
in
 ChangedType
Provided your table is called “Tabelle1” & the column with your values to be replaced “Value” & your index-col “Index”

How to remove html-tags from a text.

Hello!
I have a text-field which I will remove html-tag's from.
Example:
"This is a test and another test"
The function must return a similar text, but without the html-
tags and (in this case).
Anybody that can help me with this little problem?
Thanks in advance for any help :-)

You can wait for some kind personal to post a complete code
solution... But if you want to fix this yourself (which is good
for the soul) here are some hints:
- You can use SUBSTR to get at chunks of text
- You can use INSTR to find particular characters.
- You can use INSTR as an argument of SUBSTR
Hence:
bit_of_text := SUBSTR(text, 1, INSTR(text, '<'));
chopped_text := SUBSTR(text, INSTR(text, '<'));
bit_of_text := bit_of_text||SUBSTR(chopped_text, INSTR
(text, '>'), INSTR(text, '<'));
will give you the first bit of text that doesn't contain any
angle brackets.
From this you should be able to work out how to functionalised
this (you'll need to store the offsets and use them in a loop
construct).
Note that this assumes that the text only contains the '<'
character when it's part of a HTML tag. If you can't guarantee
this then you'll have to explicitly search for all the tags e.g.
bit_of_text := SUBSTR(text, 1, INSTR(lower(text), ''));
bit_of_text := SUBSTR(text, 1, INSTR(lower(text), ' '));
This will be a bit of pain. And completely rules out XML!

Remove HTML tags from a string

I have a string that contains a couple of HTML or XHTML tag, for example
lv_my_string = 'Hello World!'.
For a special use case, I want to remove all HTML from that string and process only the plain text
lv_my_new_string = 'Hello World!'.
Is there any method, function module, XSLT or anything else for that already?

Hi Daniel,
I tried using the FM (SWA_STRING_REMOVE_SUBSTRING) but I guess it is expecting a particular pattern which is not so apparent in your case. Iu2019ve written a small piece of code which you can try using in a FM or a PERFORM and that should do the trick. Please let me know if you have any questions.

How to remove html tags from the pdf file ?

Hello,
Using BI publisher we are generating a pdf file. In the table, we have data which contains html tags. for example " test1 2.test2 3.test3 ".
In the pdf file we need to get the output like this
test1
test2
test3
But the output is as follows :"test1 2.test 3.test3 "
Any idea, how these html tags can be removed from the pdf file and obtain the required result?
Thanks in advance!!
Archana

Archana,
Can you wrap your code in <code> tags (use square brackets rather than angled ones), as the forum software is interpretting the HTML tags, in other words we can't see what you mean ;)
In any case, there are a few different options (guessing at what your problem is, without seeing the actual data), you could use htf.escape_sc or replace, regexp_replace etc to substitute the values before you output them to your PDF.
Hope this helps,
John.

Stripping HTML Tags from a String

What's the best way to remove html tags from a string (i.e. user input)?

Can you give an example? You can do substring, if your passing spaces between pages you can do a trim to the variable. Also look at the indexOf(). Look at methods relating to java.lang.String.

How to exlcude HTML Tags from Excel Reports

Hi Guys
Within Project Online - OData extract to Excel
Has anyone found a way to eliminate the HTML tags from Multi Line Text fields within Project Server? I can easily extract the text and generate nice Excel Reports, but the html tag is very annoying in the Excel Reports and it doesn't read easily.
Any help would be appreciated.
Marc Soester [MVP] http://marcsoester.blogspot.com

Marc,
What you could do (given that you find the required time and energy to write the lines),
would be to replace all (!) html characters like here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14705605/remove-html-tags-from-cell-strings-excel-formula -
this is one of the Excel UDF/VB-based solutions, but will not refresh in Excel Services - however there is a good list of what to replace) with PowerQuery.
That would refresh over a PowerBI subscription in the least..

Way to remove HTML tags from a page-scoped attribute using JSTL?

Hi,
I'm using JSTL 1.2 with Tomcat 6.0.26. Does anyone know of a way to remove HTML tags from a page attribute, "${myExpr}". I would prefer a solution that uses JSTL only, but ultimately whatever gets the job done is fine with me.
Thanks, - Dave

I'm sorry, I don't understand your requirement. What do you mean by "remove HTML tags from a page attribute"?
If you are dealing with a value of an attribute, it is most likely a String, and should be treated as such. The best approach would probably be java coding.

How to aviod html tags from Report column heading while export to csv

Hi All,
How to aviod html tags from Report column heading while export to excel.

Thanks,

Hi Nr
Here is how I approached this problem.
Go to report attributes tab
under column attributes check PLSQL radio button.
Create a function to return the heading of your report as shown below in your database.
create function get_heading return clob as
v_request VARCHAR2(20) := V('REQUEST');
v_col_heading CLOB;
begin
IF INSTR(v_request,'FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT',1) > 0 THEN
v_col_heading := 'Employee Number:Employee Name';
ELSE
v_col_heading := 'Employee breaktag Number:Employee break tag Name';
END IF;
return v_col_heading;
end;
Type the function below under ( Function returning colon delimited headings:) as follows.
return get_heading;
Similarly for data base it on PLSQL function body returning SQL and follow the same approach as headings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Remove HTML tags from a text area

Hi, here is my problem:
I have a form with a text area item; this item is “Display as Editor HTML standard”. So it is possible to enter formatted text with tags HTML. Then I save the text in a table. In the column the text maintain the HTML tags. Afterwards I can put the text in a report, and I can see the formatted text with the tags HTML interpreted.
But I need also to use that text for other aims, (i.e. sending it in a mail) with the html tags removed.
Is there any way to remove HTML tags from a text item?

Remove HTML tags from String

it sounded prettty easy..
I know the first part of my String is <html><center> and the last part is </center></html>
but for saving it into the database I want to remove the HTML parts..
I know how much characters the html stuff is.. I know what the html is.. how do I remove it from my string?

If your String always starts with <html><center> and always ends with </center></html> you can use:
 int startLength = "<html><center>".length();
 int endLength = "</center></html>".length();
 String withoutHtml = myString.substring(startLength, myString.length() - endLength);

Remove Html tags from export Crystal report Setting i

Hi,
I ma using CR 2008, BOXI 3.1 , Oracle
i)When ever i try to export i export it into CSV format and i am getting HTML tags , how do we remove them
ii) My second question is; I have a crystal report that is given by my friend and when ever i open it i ma getting a error saying UFL u2lgmt.dll missing .
i am using a java version ; How to overcome this?

hi Venkatesh,
regarding the first question...you need to replace these tags manually in a formula and have that formula on the report instead of the db field.
e.g.
stringvar s:= {your field};
s:= replace(s, '<div>', '');
s:= replace(s, '</div>', '');
you'll have to do this for any potential tag in the field unfortunately.
please post question 2 as a new discussion as per the forum rules.
cheers,
jamie

Problem removing html tags from the text retrived

Hi there,
I am using jdbc to connect the database and retriving the data. In one of the columns along with the description there are some html tags in few of the recors of that column. is there a way to retrive the text only ignoring the html tags in between. Or can i retrive and then strip off the html code in the text to display only normal text.
example of the data retrived which are pipe seperated and one of the columns has html tags in it:
209|The euphoria |187945-2|http://www.abc/lst.jsp?mktgChannel=I86023&sku=18791-2&siteID=qpF0HYnRugA|http://www.abc.com/assets/images/product/medium/18793-2_198.jpg|Rooftop Singers: Walk Right In | abc Music proudly presents THE FOLK YEARS, an unforgettable era in music history! Featuring: 
<LI>The most complete collection of folk and folk-rock songs ever put together -- 132 classics!
<LI>Original hits by the original artists!
Now i need to remove the tags before displaying this on the output. Is there a simple way to do this.
Thanks...

Did you read the documentation of the trim() method,
where it describes which whitespace it removes?I believe his problem is that
"Some text here
<blah>
More text"becomes
"Some text here
More text"... and he wants ...
"Some text here
More text"So, your problem is that your regex isn't matching whitespace as well.
