Question

I have a HTML string and want to replace all links to just a text.

E.g. having

Some text <a href="http://google.com/">Google</a>.

need to get

Some text Google.

What regex should I use?

Answer 1

var html = "<a ....>some text</a>";
var ripper = new Regex("<a.*?>(?<anchortext>.*?)</a>", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
html = ripper.Match(html).Groups["anchortext"].Value;
//html = "some text"
