This following function takes an HTML page and strips it of all tags.
VBcodersPublic Function ReplaceTags(varName As String) As String
'Will check each character for it "& n b s p;" without the spaces
'If it exists, skip it
'Will strip HTML tags and characters
Dim i As Double, varHold As String
Dim checkval As String, holdVal As String
For i = 1 To Trim(Len(varName))
checkval = Mid(varName, i, 6)
holdVal = Mid(varName, i, 1)
If checkval = "This page won't allow "& n b s p;" Then
'So just remove the spaces
i = i + 5
GoTo LabelNext
End If
If holdVal = "<" Then
Do Until holdVal = ">"
i = i + 1
holdVal = Mid(varName, i, 1)
Loop
holdVal = ""
End If
If holdVal = "%" Then
Do Until holdVal = "%"
i = i + 1
holdVal = Mid(varName, i, 1)
Loop
holdVal = ""
End If
varHold = varHold & holdVal
LabelNext:
Next i
ReplaceTags = varHold
End Function
Create a form and place two richtext box controls on it and a command button:
RichTextBox1
RichTextBox2
Command1
Now call it like the following:Assuming HTML is in Richtextbox1
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Me.RichTextBox2 = ReplaceTags(Me.RichTextBox1)
End Sub
