Hi all,

Given a string consist of string encoded in HTML. Any standard Function Module to remove the HTML code?

eg, Change "<HTML><B>Sample Text</B></HTML>" to "Sample Text"

Any suggestion/comments are welcome!

Thanks

Hi Prakesh,

To remove the HTML tags from a string, use the following sample formula:

whileprintingrecords;

stringvar sample := {table.stringfield};

numbervar counter := ubound(split(sample,"<"))-1;

numbervar i;

for i := 1 to counter do(

numbervar openbracket := instr(sample,"<");

numbervar closebracket := instr(sample,">");

sample := left(sample,openbracket-1) & mid(sample,closebracket+1));

sample;

====================

NOTE:

This formula removes all text between the '<' and '>' characters. Adjustments may be required if only some tags should be removed, or if the '<' or '>' characters appear by themselves in the original string.

====================

Thanks & Regards,
