Remove HTML tags in text

Former Member — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 16:05:18 GMT

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.

Regards,

Darren

Hi,

I discovered the function "CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII" that removes those characters.

Thanks anyway.

See if FM SOTR_TAGS_REMOVE_FROM_STRING is what you want.
