Question

I have a string, that can have some html tags. I’d like to remove some of them (with the data on it), but not all tags.

In fact I’d like to remove <img /> and <div>...</div>.

So for example, if I have the string hello <div>bye bye</div> marco Id like to get hello marco.

How can I do this on C#?

It is not a good idea to use regex for XML. Depending on the language you should use some XML library.

In this case the regex is pretty simple, though:

        string s = "hello <div>bye bye</div> marco <img />";

        Regex rgx = new Regex("(<div>[^<]*</div>)|(<img */>)");
        s = rgx.Replace(s, "");
