I have a string as follows:

This is a sample <b>String</b> I want to <div style="font-size:22px"> replace it fast </div>

How can I remove <div> start and </div> end tag from the above string in Java in one go?

Answer 1

You can do this:

String s = "This is a sample <b>String</b> I want to <div style=\"font-size:22px\"> replace it fast </div>";
s = s.replaceAll("[<](/)?div[^>]*[>]", "");

This will result in:
