I am working on cleaning up text within a google doc. The challenge is that the copy contains HTML
markup and I am trying to remove it to be left with clean text.
I have created the following, but it seems to remove only the first instance of HTML
code in the cell, how do I get it all out?
= regexreplace(C9,"\<[a-zA-Z0-9-?]*\>","")
The first way is to use the function to remove all non-printable characters from a text string. To do this, you would use the following syntax: =CLEAN(text) . The second way is to use the function to remove all HTML tags from a text string. To do this, you would use the following syntax: =CLEAN(text, removeHTML) .
The HTML tags can be removed from a given string by using replaceAll() method of String class. We can remove the HTML tags from a given string by using a regular expression. After removing the HTML tags from a string, it will return a string as normal text.
PHP provides an inbuilt function to remove the HTML tags from the data. The strip_tags() function is an inbuilt function in PHP that removes the strings form HTML, XML and PHP tags. It accepts two parameters. This function returns a string with all NULL bytes, HTML, and PHP tags stripped from a given $str.
try this regular expression :
= regexreplace(C9,"<.*?>","")
