Strip HTML from Text

[tshad]

Is there an easy way to strip HTML tags from Text to get just the plain
text?

I am using a program called FreeTextBox that lets you format Text in a
TextBox. It does this by adding HTML tags (<b>, <u>,<span> etc) to the
code.

The problem is that it is a problem since I am putting the text in a
varChar(8000). The HTML adds a lot characters to the text. I can change
this to a Text field in Sql, but you can do a FullText search on a Text
field (plus I don't really want the tags in a Text Search).

Is there some filtering mechanism that would strip the HTML from a text
field?

Thanks,

Tom
