I'm working with RegEx on Javascript and here is where I stuck.
I have a simple string like
<html><body><span style=3D"font-family:Verdana; color:#000; font-size:10pt;=
"><div><font face=3D"verdana, geneva" size=3D"2">http://72.55.146.142:8880/=
order003.png.zip,120</body></html>
all i need to do is write javascript which can replace all strings in with "<" and ">" symbol.
I wrote something like this -
var strReplaceAll = Body;
var intIndexOfMatch = strReplaceAll.indexOf( "<" );
while (intIndexOfMatch != -1){
strReplaceAll = strReplaceAll.replace(/<.*>/,'')
intIndexOfMatch = strReplaceAll.indexOf( "<" );
}
but the problem is if body contains -
test<abc>test2<adg>
it will give me -
test
only or if body contains like -
<html>test<abc>test2<adg>
it will give me nothing please let me know how i can get-
testtest2
as a final output.
Just use this. Replace all the occurrences with
""
.See demo.
Try this regex instead:

DISCUSSION
Put the html code in a string and apply to this string the regex.
The original regex take too much characters (
*
is a greedy operator).Check this page about Repetition with Star and Plus, especially the part on "Watch Out for The Greediness!".
