Hi Matthew... The string isn't necessarily all html. This is for a messaging app, and people can include html elements for formatting.
So the string is coming back via cfquery as variable #message_body# I want to parse this variable and remove any html formatting and if there are links, remove all the ahref junk and just display the link value itself.. so if I have this as the string <b>Hey Man!</b> Did you see this site? <a href="http://google.com";> google.com</a> I would get Hey Man! Did you see this site? http://google.com On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 4:18 PM, Matthew Woodward <[email protected]>wrote: > You get the HTML as an object first, then you can pull what you want from > it. > > If you want to parse it as a string, just use CFHTTP. > > > On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 2:04 PM, Jason King <[email protected]>wrote: > >> doc = html( FileRead("http://www.openbd.org/";) >> >> Is the function pulling the html serviced by openbd.org and parsing it? >> >> I just want to parse a string, not an entire html document.
