I was working on an app and needed to remove all HTML instances in a string. Well, that same functionality was needed elsewhere so…I created a class.
/** * String Utility functions * @author John C. Bland II * @version 0.1 */ package utils{ public class StringUtils { public static function stripHTML(value:String):String{ return value.replace(/<.*?>/g, ""); } } } |
To use it you simply:
trace(StringUtils.stripHTML("some html string")); |
Hope this helps someone.
