[flexcoders] Regexp wont work cause of the labels

[tonyx_788]

Hi all i'm looking for a regular expression for mi app

im using CDATA inside my XML so when i try to make a filter search it
wont work cause of the <B> or <i> before the text

lets say in my xml i have something like this:
<name><![CDATA[<b>Academia.</b>]]></name>
it dont work if i type academia but
if i put <b>Academia it works

this is what im using to make the filter search

 private function filter(item:Object):Boolean
                        {
        return item.name.match(new RegExp("^" + inputText.text,"i\*"));
                        }

Thanks
