 <p>I did something like this years ago in VB6. Copied below is the code. As you can see, the code just steps through the HTML character-by-character and removes everything between (and including) the &lt; and > tags. Hopefully you can do something similar in whatever tool you are using.</p> <pre><code>Function CleanTags(HTML As String) As String Dim result As String, b As Boolean, c As String, i As Long b = False For i = 1 To Len(HTML) c = Mid(HTML, i, 1) If c = "&lt;" Then b = True If b = False Then result = result &amp; c If c = "&gt;" Then b = False Next i CleanTags = result End Function </code></pre>
