How to remove HTML tags with RegExp in JavaScript?
Here, the task is to remove the HTML tags from the string. Here string contains a part of the document and we need to extract only the text part from it. Here we are going to do that with the help of JavaScript.
Approach:
- Take the string in a variable.
- Anything between the less than symbol and the greater than symbol is removed from the string by the RegExp.
- Finally we will get the text.
Example 1: This example using the approach defined above.
<!DOCTYPE HTML><html> <head> <title> How to remove HTML tags with RegExp in JavaScript? </title></head> <body id="body" style="text-align:center;"> <h1 style="color:green;"> GeeksForGeeks </h1> <p id="GFG_UP" style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;"> </p> <button onclick="GFG_Fun()"> click here </button> <p id="GFG_DOWN" style="color:green; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;"> </p> <script> var up = document.getElementById('GFG_UP'); var str2 = '<p> GeeksForGeeks </p>'; // same as the str2. var str1 = "< p > GeeksForGeeks < /p >"; up.innerHTML = "Click on button to remove the "+ "HTML tags from the string.<br>String = '" + str1 + "'"; var down = document.getElementById('GFG_DOWN'); function GFG_Fun() { var regex = /( |<([^>]+)>)/ig; down.innerHTML = str2.replace(regex, ""); } </script></body> </html> |
