Hurahh, at last something I can help with

I am duty bound to point out that I grabbed this code from a custom tag on
the dev exchange, their are plenty there.


cfset source=#yourTextString#
cfscript
EndLoop = 0;
StartPosition = 1;
while (StartPosition gt 0){
StartPosition = REFindNoCase(/*[[:alpha:]],source);
if(StartPosition gt 0){
endPosition=Find(,source,StartPosition);
if(endPosition gt 0){
source = 
RemoveChars(source,StartPosition,EndPosition-StartPosition+1);
startPosition = 1;
}
}else{
endLoop = 1;
}
}
OutputText=trim(source);
/cfscript

Subject: CFSEARCH results: HTML vs. Plain Text


Hello,

I've got lightly formatted HTML in a database (bold / italic / lists). I'm
using the CFINDEX Query function to fill a CFCOLLECTION. My problem is the
HTML. I'd prefer to display my search results as plain text. Is there a way
to strip HTML formatting? I've tried the string functions, but just haven't
figured out how to eliminate the HTML. Can someone give me a couple
pointers?

Thanks,
Lou Klepner

a much quicker way involves only one line:

cfset strippedOfHTML = REReplaceNoCase(textWithHTML, [^]*, , ALL)

this removes ALL HTML from a string.
