Question

I’d like to specifically strip any <iframe> code from my ASP String.

I’m currently using this:

Function stripTags(HTMLstring)
    Set RegularExpressionObject = New RegExp
    With RegularExpressionObject
        .Pattern = "<[^>]+>"
        .IgnoreCase = True
        .Global = True
    End With
    stripTags = RegularExpressionObject.Replace(HTMLstring, "")
    Set RegularExpressionObject = nothing
End Function

However, I realise this will remove ALL HTML, not just IFRAME code.

Can someone help?

Many thanks

You could try this:

Function stripIframeTags(HTMLstring)
    Set RegularExpressionObject = New RegExp
    With RegularExpressionObject
        .Pattern = "<iframe[^>]+>.*?</iframe>"
        .IgnoreCase = True
        .Global = True
    End With
    stripIframeTags = RegularExpressionObject.Replace(HTMLstring, "")
    Set RegularExpressionObject = nothing
End Function

This assumes that there is always a closing tag to the iframe, but this could be marked optional in the regular expression.
