Remove HTML Tags and parse the text out of it

Hi All -
I had a text file with all the HTML Tags on it. I want to parse text out of it. Is there any package available to remove all the HTML Tags from the text.
For example
<HTML><BODY bgColor=#ffffff> This is the text i want to parse.</BODY></HTML>
The result would be: This is the text I want to parse.
The text can be very long and can have many different HTML Tags. I cannot use REPLACE becuase tags can me lot more then I thought.
Please respond as soon as possible..Thanks for all your help!!

Remove html tags and retrieve the data on the page

Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal -- in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
More generally, if you write like a semi-literate boob you will very likely be ignored. Writing like a l33t script kiddie hax0r is the absolute kiss of death and guarantees you will receive nothing but stony silence (or, at best, a heaping helping of scorn and sarcasm) in return.
If you are asking questions in a forum that does not use your native language, you will get a limited amount of slack for spelling and grammar errors -- but no extra slack at all for laziness (and yes, we can usually spot that difference). Also, unless you know what your respondent's languages are, write in English. Busy hackers tend to simply flush questions in languages they don't understand, and English is the working language of the Internet. By writing in English you minimize your chances that your question will be discarded unread.
Best of luck.

HTML tags displayed with the text in "Notification" area

We want to display an HTML formatted message in the "notification" area, but the HTML tags are being escaped and thus are displayed along with the text. We are using Application Express 2.2.1.00.04. The application has been handed off to us to support and we have no experience with APEX. So I hope I am explaining this correctly.
The process to display the message is as follows:
After submission, a page validation fires, which is of type "function returns boolean": "return some_function('P100_MESSAGE',2nd_arg);".
In "Error Message" is "&P100_MESSAGE."
The function returns true when the validation is successful. When validation fails, it returns false, setting 'P100_MESSAGE' to some error message - for example: "<li>Phone number is not numeric</li><li>Email address is not valid</li>".
Our template has this in the body definition:
#NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE##SUCCESS_MESSAGE##BOX_BODY#
As I understand it, #NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE# will be replaced with the value of 'P100_MESSAGE'.
I've displayed 'P100_MESSAGE' on my page to confirm its contents and it is rendered correctly with bullets. But the notification area does not show bullets. It displays the text and the HTML tags.
Is there anything obvious we can do to fix this problem? Thanks

I 've changed P100_MESSAGE to text field, text field (disabled, saves state), text field (disabled, does not save state), and textarea, display as text, etc. It is originally set to Hidden type (because it is only to be displayed in the notification area). But changing it to various types makes no difference as to how it is displayed in the notification area. Of course, when it's not hidden, then it's also displayed on the page, among to other page elements,which is not acceptable.
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?

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<br><p> and another test"
The function must return a similar text, but without the html-
tags <br> and <p> (in this case).
Anybody that can help me with this little problem?
Thanks in advance for any help :-)
Best regards
Kjetil Klxve

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), '<p>'));
bit_of_text := SUBSTR(text, 1, INSTR(lower(text), '<br>'));
This will be a bit of pain. And completely rules out XML!

Use Regular Expressions to remove open/close anchor tags but leave the text contained within alone

I have a large file with lots of anchor tags. Many of the anchor tags have no HREF specified and do nothing. They aren't hurting anything, either, but I'd like to get rid of them, leaving the anchor tags that do have HREF alone, and leaving the text between the tags alone. Here's an example: <a>A resident or municipality may seek to vacate 25.01.01</a>.
I've come up with this to identify those tags: <\a>(.)*</\a> and it works, it finds them, but what should I put in the Replace area in order to remove the open/close tags but leave the text as it is?

I'm a reg ex idiot. So I use the Search Specific Tag feature whenever I can. See screenshot, hit Replace All. But please do this on a backed-up document to be sure it does what you want.

Set by script the tag and/or the class of a paragraph style for HTML / EPUB export?

Is it possible to set by script the tag and/or the class of a paragraph style for HTML / EPUB export?

I found a way
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
tell document 1
tell paragraph style 2
--get count of style export tag map
tell style export tag map 1 -- HTML , 2 = PDF
--get export class
--get export tag
set export tag to "H1"
set export class to "blue"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
and its works
but thanks for help to use the class "style export tag map"

Define HTML Tag for Parser - Help?

Hi all,
I'm trying to write a program which downloads a HTML script, parses it, extracts the links and checks to see which of these links are broken. While the parser is picking up tags that are well-formed, such as:
Mark Humphrys -
Research -
The HTML script has a few malformed HTML tags such as the following:
<li><b> References </b>
<li><b> References </b>
The snippet of code I'm using to try and get these malformed tags is as follows:
     ParserCallback parserCallback = new ParserCallback()
     public void handleText(final char[] data, final int pos) { }
          Tag a = HTML.Tag("a");
          public void handleStartTag(Tag tag, MutableAttributeSet attribute, int pos)
               if (tag == a)
               String address = (String) attribute.getAttribute("href");
                    list.add(address);
               System.out.println(address);
     public void handleEndTag(Tag t, final int pos) { }
     public void handleSimpleTag(Tag t, MutableAttributeSet a, final int pos) { }
     public void handleComment(final char[] data, final int pos) { }
     public void handleError(final java.lang.String errMsg, final int pos) { }
     };but I keep getting the error that they can't find the Tag() method. At the start of my code I have:
import javax.swing.text.html.HTML;
import javax.swing.text.html.HTML.Tag;so I don't understand why the compiler can't find the method. Is there something wrong with the way I'm using it?
I have very little experience with this area so any help or pointers would be great!

Sorry, the exact error message is:
cannot find symbol,
symbol: constructor Tag(java.lang.String)
location: class javax.swing.text.html.HTML.Tag
HTML.Tag a = new HTML.Tag("a");
^
it should of course be a constructor not a method but the compiler still can't seem to find it. The proper code (in as much as I can tell although it still isn't working)
     ParserCallback parserCallback = new ParserCallback()
     public void handleText(final char[] data, final int pos) { }
          HTML.Tag a = new HTML.Tag("a");
          public void handleStartTag(Tag tag, MutableAttributeSet attribute, int pos)
               if (tag == a)
               String address = (String) attribute.getAttribute("href");
                    list.add(address);
               System.out.println(address);
     public void handleEndTag(Tag t, final int pos) { }
     public void handleSimpleTag(Tag t, MutableAttributeSet a, final int pos) { }
     public void handleComment(final char[] data, final int pos) { }
     public void handleError(final java.lang.String errMsg, final int pos) { }
     };

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);

Reading email in outlook with c# and parsing the body

Hello,
I don't know where to start.
The organization I work for uses different user web forms to collect user/client feedback. Instead of having those forms populate a table, they have them emailed to me as text in the body of an email for me to decide what to do with. My (local) boss wants
me to upload the data into our CRM. Everyone expects me to do that by hand ( which is now getting out of hand :D.)
I need to read an outlook 2010 email in a shared mailbox (to which I do not know the account password for mail server access) and parse the body data into a data table.
If I can get some help understanding how to access the individual email file(s) and read the data into a string array or something that achieves this result, I can take it from there. All suggestions are welcome however going back to the admin who
is in another country, won't make changes and doesn't speak english are not paths I can follow.
My glass here, is half full with the opportunity to resolve this challenge.

Hello,
You can develop a VBA macro for handling new emails in the shared mailbox. I'd suggest starting from the
Getting Started with VBA in Outlook 2010 article. If you see a shared mailbox in your Outlook profile you can subscribe to the Inbox events (for example, ItemAdd) in the following way:
Dim WithEvents myInboxMailItem As Outlook.Items
Private Sub myInboxMailItem_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Call MsgBox("Item Added", vbOKOnly, "[email protected]")
End Sub
Private Sub Initialize_Handler()
Dim fldInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim gnspNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Set gnspNameSpace = Outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI") 'Outlook Object
Set fldInbox = gnspNameSpace.Folders("[email protected]").Folders("Inbox")
Set myInboxMailItem = fldInbox.Items
End Sub
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Call Initialize_Handler
End Sub
In the ItemAdd event handler you can get all the required information parse the message body. The Outlook object model provides
three main ways for working with item bodies: Body, HTMLBody and WordEditor.

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.

I had problem with reading HTML tags and save all images in that page. I can source code in web page but I dont know how to Identifly the image tag ( IMG tag ). I think i want to use string tokenizer class.
But i dont know how to use it in my problem. If any one know how to do it. reply this.

But i dont know how to use it in my problem. If any one know how to do it. reply this.If you have a big, long string with HTML content in it you might try splitting on a regex like so:
String html = ...
String[] imgTags = html.split("<img.*?>");[http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)]
to get your image tag data and then parsing that to get the src attribute. You can either treat this problem as a big string-parsing problem, or getting some HTML DOM library and using that to structure the page as a tree for easier access.
If you want more help you'll have to show the code you have so far. We can't write this for you.

I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me from her, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

I have this question too (0) Reply

Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......
