Remove HTML tag from string

Question

Remove all HTML tags like  or <p> from string. I used below code but it's not working.

var content = "<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;test result</p><br/>"; // My String

content.replacingOccurrences(of: "<[^>]+>", with: "", options: String.CompareOptions.regularExpression, range: nil)

but it does not remove all HTML tags from string.

Answer 1

var content = "<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;test result</p><br/>"; // My String

let a = content.replacingOccurrences(of: "<[^>]+>", with: "", options: String.CompareOptions.regularExpression, range: nil)

a will be:   test result

let b = a.replacingOccurrences(of: "&[^;]+;", with: "", options: String.CompareOptions.regularExpression, range: nil)

b will now be: test result

This will also take care of < and so on. There is no magic. Find out what you need and then write the proper RegEx.
