Impossible, you need a string to manipulate.
s = '<head><title>JUNK</title></head><body >HELLO</body>'
in the simplest form:
result = s.replace(/.*/,'HELLO')
Because if you strip of all tags like this:
result = s.replace(/<[^>]*>/g,'')
result would be: 'JUNKHELLO'
==============
Perhaps you only want the body content?
result = s.replace(/(.*?<body[^>]*>)|(<\/body>)/g,'')
<head><title>JUNK</title></head><body >HELLO</body>
s = '<head><title>JUNK</title></head><body >HELLO</body>'
result = s.replace(/(.*?<body[^>]*>)|(<\/body>)/g,'')
result = s.replace(/(.*?<body[^>]*>)|(<\/body>)/g,'')
also returns the title with my string.
YOU are right, all i am looking
for is the string between the body tags with leading and trailing
blanks, new lines etc removed.
