Is there a way to remove html tags

I've have a column which I have used a Textarea with HTML Editor to populate. The problem is now I need the extract the contents of that column as plain text without all html tags to be used outside of htmldb. Is there a pl/sql function I can call which will do this?
Thanks,
Ben

That is brilliant! Didnt realize Oracle Text could be used for such beneficial side-effects like this!
Thanks a lot

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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>.");

  • Is there a way to remove a painting on a wall in a shot?

    a couple walk by a wall with a painting hanging behind them. is there a way to remove it? like copy a blank space and paste it on the painting? something like that possible? do i have to go frame by frame? its like 15 total seconds...

    I agree.
    Blurring the area sounds more viable.
    Perhaps our friend might go to Andy Mees' site and download his FREE key frame-able "Andy's Region Blur":

  • Is there a way to prevent HTML from being displayed in forum?

    Is there a way to prevent HTML from being displayed in forum in BC to avoid linking to other sites on an eCommerce site?

    Thank you for your post!
    Unfortunately there isn't a way to restrict customers to post on your forums links to other sites.
    However what I suggest here is to choose to moderate each forum post and this way you can choose to approve or remove links from the posts sent by customers.
    I hope this helps!

  • Is there any way to remove the explicit warning (the red "E") from podcasts (in the app)?

    I could really use some help with the Podcasts app. Whenever I try to use a subscription for a podcast directly on my iPhone, every episode of that podcast (loaded through iTunes) gets the explicit tag.
    That red "E" is eating up valuable space in the podcast name and I don't want it there. Is there any way to remove it?
    Any help would be very appreciated!
    P.S. I do not have "Show content ratings in library" activated in iTunes and I don't use any other parental control  or restrictions option, never have.

    No there is no way to remove it.

  • Is there any way to remove the see-through grayscreen and the 8-dotted circle whenever mozilla loads a html5(.webm) video?

    When i watch an embed .webm in the innate html5 player, every time i try to forward or rewind the movie it puts up the grayscreen+loading icon(even tho the movie was fully preloaded).
    Its especially annoying when you need to watch the movie frame by frame and loading grayscreen darkens it so that you can see alot of less details :/
    Is there any way of removing that gray whatever?

    Your original question was:
    When i watch an embed .webm in the innate html5 player, every time i try to forward or rewind the movie it puts up the grayscreen+loading icon(even tho the movie was fully preloaded).
    Could you post a link to a web page where you see this problem?
    I couldn't find a test page for an embedded HTML5 webm video but I found this link to a webm file:
    *http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.webm
    The above webm file link is from this test page:
    *http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody/test.html
    (The embedded video on that page is actually a mp4 file). That test page is linked from the Mozilla Support article, [[Viewing HTML5 audio and video in Firefox]].
    I have no problem using the slider to forward or back up video playback in either the embedded HTML5 mp4 video or the webm video linked above.

  • I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

    I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
    Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
    This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
    This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
    The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
    If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
    I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
    I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
    A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
    In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
    Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
    If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

    Hi,
    If you want to have a better experience of your music files, how about just use WMP to enjoy all the songs, you can
    sort by Artists or Album or whatever you like. There, you can have a better and easier way to organize all your music
    files.
    For Windows Explorer, did you mean
    medium size icons in artist, while list icon in albums, you can just organize as you want like the following screenshot.
    If I'm missing something, please free contact me.

  • I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

    I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)
    Let me explain:
    In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
    Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
    (I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

    I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
    Hope it will be helpful
