Right, spent a while trying to work out how I can modify it, but whatever I try it doesn't affect what I intend it to affect! For instance: I don't want to replace & signs with "and," because that'll make turn into "andnbsp;" - in fact it turns it into ",amp;nbsp"
All I need it to do is remove common HTML tags, like <br>, <b>, <i> and replace them with " ". Similarly, " " should just be replaced with a " " In fact, I think I can limit the "tags to be removed" to just <b></b> <br> and ;quot Is this one for the regex list?
