Question

Greetings all,
I have a text that may contains the <a></a> tags something like :

hello this is a link <a href="www.google.com"> www.google.com </a> please visit it.

I want to remove those tags and keep the text between them
to be like:

hello this is a link  www.google.com  please visit it.

, how to do ?

Answer 1

String str="<a>sadasd</a>";
str.replaceAll("<a>","").replaceAll("</a>","");//sadasd

Or

 str.replaceAll("</?a>","");//sadasd

Or the best way is to go for Jsoup Cleaner

        String str = "hello this is a link <a href='www.google.com'> www.google.com </a> please visit it";
        String safe = Jsoup.clean(str, Whitelist.simpleText());
        System.out.println(safe);//hello this is a link  www.google.com  please visit it
