Deleting hyperlink(s) in a string of code source [SOLVED]

Hi to all,
I'm trying to code a script to remove hyperlinks in a code source I uploaded. But I don't know what's the best approach.
After the use of a lineOffset(), I get a string in a var I want to clean. So I've a list of tag to remove and that's OK.
Code: Select all
put "<li>" , "<i>" , "<b>" , "</b>" , "</i>" , "</li>" , " " , "</span>" into theTagsToRemove
I run a repeat loop and clean all that tags from the var. But what about links and <span> tag ?
Do you know a tutorial somewhere about that ? I made a search on the forum but it says "
No suitable matches were found ."
Kind regards, Jean-Paul.

Here is what I code:
Code: Select all
get offset(aa,theLineToDealWith) -- search aa = "<a href=" in the string theLineToDealWith
if IT > 0 then -- there is a link(s)
put IT into laPrimPos -- position of char "<" in the string <theLineToDealWith>
get offset(">",theLineToDealWith)
delete char laPrimPos to IT of theLineToDealWith
end if
It's OK, for
one link only in the string, as I remove prior the tags "</a>".
Any idea how this script could be improved to continu if
more links are in the string ?
Kind regards, Jean-Paul.

Bonsoir Jean-Paul,
Here is an old post which does the opposite of what you want
But this could may be help you to go further...

What you can do is keep the regex I did write, and use the replacetext().
Regards,
Thierry

I cheat and let the engine do it. It usually works:
Code: Select all
set the htmltext of fld "temp" to tHTML
get the text of fld "temp"

Merci Thierry. I tried to deal with your function but I went into an infinite loop
May be I should wait 'till tomorrow...
Kind Regards, Jean-Paul.

with replaceText() you don't need the loop!
May be worth checking the dictionary
Otherwise, as you want to get rid of *all* tags,
try jacque's solution. I don't know if it works for all case,
but I have a strong tendancy to trust Jacque statements

Oui Thierry, c'est exact, and thanks to Jacqueline. Very interresting approach.
I can get the string in a "temp" field and now I expect to play with the properties of this field "temp" to see if I can remove the underline text, the color and so on...
Kind regards, Jean-Paul.

Ah ! Victoire
The most easiest way to transform the color and underline text, in my case
Code: Select all
set the htmltext of fld "temp" to theLineToDealWith -- remove the links and <span> tags, every thing
put fld "temp" into myVarTmp -- clear the all formatting; color, underline, bold !
put myVarTmp into fld "leFinalTxt" -- retrieve the original text
Again, thanks a lot Jacqueline and to all of you.
Kind regards, Jean-Paul.
