Doug, Do you want to strip out all HTML, or just "a" tags? What about words that appear otside of the link?
For example: another <a href=this,that and the other>word</a> problem Should that become: another word problem or: word If you want to strip out all html, and leave words outside the tag, use stripHTML(): http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=12 If you want to strip just "a" tags and leave words outside the tag, use this: REReplaceNoCase(str,"</?a[^>]*>","","ALL") If you want to get only the text between the "a" tags, use this: <cfscript> function anchorText(string) { var result = ""; var AnchorTag = ReFindNoCase("<a[^>]*>[^(</a>)]*</a>",string,1,true); var tag = ""; if ( AnchorTag.pos[1] AND AnchorTag.len[1] ) { tag = Mid(string,AnchorTag.pos[1],AnchorTag.len[1]); result = ReReplaceNoCase(tag, "</?a[^>]*>", "", "ALL"); } return result; } </cfscript> If your need is otherwise, let me know.
