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!

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?

Dario

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 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();

Remove XML Tags with White space.

Hi All, I have a scenario like the below code where I have empty spaces in few columns of my tables. I create XML of the data and send it. There is a lot of code such and I can't add ISNULL() on each and every column. Is there any simple one line code working
with the XML so that I can remove the tags with only empty spaces. TIA.

It would have helped if there had been a trim() function in XQuery.
With some trial and error and inventive thinking I came up with this:
<span style="color:Blue">SET</span> @xml.modify(<span style="color:#A31515">'delete //*[. <= " "]'</span>);
As they say: it seems to work. But I leave no warranties.

Removing html tags

Hi there,
i have two questions:
1.)how to check if a string contains html?
2.)does aybody know how to remove html tags except some special (<a> ..)?
thanx, jules

You could do it the lazy way:
String string = "bla bla bla <a href='sdfd'> asdffd <b>";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\<.*\>");
while(pattern.find())
String tag = string.substring(pattern.start(), pattern.end());
}

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!<BR><BR><B>Featuring:</B><BR>
<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.
See the "Trimming Whitespace" section:

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<br xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" />
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”

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.

Remove HTML tags in text

Hi,
I have to read some text from a text editor, that can be formatted for example with Bold, which means that when I execute the function to read its content, it returns something like this:
Do you know how can I remove these HTML tags from the text?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sónia Gonçalves

Hi,
Something like this should do the trick.
report ztag.
data: v_data type char30 value '<H>blablabla</H>'.
if v_data(1) = '<' and
v_data cs '>'.
* Remove the HTML opening header
shift v_data left up to '>'.
shift v_data left.
* Remove the HTML closing header
shift v_data right up to '<'.
shift v_data right.
shift v_data left deleting leading space.
endif.
write: / v_data.

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!!

And that is a critical distinction to make. HTML parsing is horribly complex. XML is quite easy. For HTML you have to code your own parser in PL/SQL. XML can be parsed using the XMLTYPE class/data type in PL/SQL.
So if you need to find a single specific tag in HTML - I would not try to treat it as XML. I may not even try to use regular expressions.
I would do a basic substring search for the start of the tag. Read the data following the tag. Ensure that there are no nested or embedded tags in the data. Until the end tag is read. Because HTML is that much abused - and because that is an accepted norm as parsers used by browsers deals with that abuse without complaining.
Proper HTML is mostly a myth in my experience of "screen scraping" web servers for data extraction as they do not have web services supplying the data.

How to set an attribute of a HTML tag with a value in the Servlet

I have a HTML page and a Servlet.
The HTML page sends a request to the Servlet.
The Servlet has to read the contents of the HTML page. When the Servlet encounters the body tag it should set the bgcolor attribute of the body tag with a string(For eg.a string called color with a value blue) in the servlet.
After doing this the Servlet has to update the original HTML page with the changes (in the body tag).
I need a help on this.

Hi sangee,
you could get what you want to do by using a Java Server Page instead of both a HTML page and a Servlet.
I should code something like this:
<%Strung color="yourColor"%>
<html><head><title></title></head>
<body bgcolor="<%=color%>
</body>
</html>
