I am trying to create a regular expression that essentially parses out all the html of a text string. (i.e. - Remove all text between "<" and ">"). I am not the seasoned regex pro, but my attempts have failed based on research within the livedocs:
var pattern : RegExp = /\<[a-zA-Z0-9]*>/gi Does anyone see what is wrong? var stringToEdit : String = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN'><html><head>text I should see</head></html>"; var pattern : RegExp = /\<[a-zA-Z0-9]*>/gi var newStr : String = stringToEdit.replace(pattern, ""); trace(newStr); //Desired Output: text I should see //Actual output :-( <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head>text I should see</head></html>
