Strinpping html using regexp

[Arun Kumar]

Hi,
I want to remove the all html tags in a string using regexp. But the
main thing is I dont want to use gsub or any other methods for it. I
want pure regexp to fetch the data other than the html tags. Can anybody
please give me the code.

Thanks
Arun

1. regular expressions are not good for stripping html code, use a HTML Parser
(Nokogiri, Hpricot, ...)
2. if you want to use regexp, why not gsub? what do you mean by "pure
regexp"? gsub can strip content based on regular expressions. I don't get your
point here.
3. ....

No, you really really don't. Trust me.

I want pure regexp to fetch the data other than the html tags.

If you had said "pure XPath", then that would make sense.

Yes, yes, he really does. This is an ongoing line of questioning dating
back several weeks.
