Remove html tag regular

In the process of writing a website, you often need to use HTML tags to define and format text, images, and other elements. But if you need to use this text data in text processing or data analysis, you may need to remove the HTML tags and convert it into plain text form.

In programming languages such as Java and Python, regular expressions can be used to remove HTML tags. Let's explain how to use regular expressions to remove HTML tags.

First of all, you need to understand some rules of HTML tags. HTML tags are usually enclosed in angle brackets (< >), as shown below:

这是一个段落
  示例链接

Common HTML tags include paragraph tags (

), image tags (), and link tags ()etc. The content in these tags needs to be removed, leaving plain text.

Next, let’s take a look at how to use regular expressions to remove HTML tags. In Java, you can use the following code:

String html = "
这是一个段落
示例链接"; String text = html.replaceAll("<.*?>", ""); System.out.println(text);

In this code, we use the replaceAll() method and a regular expression: <.*?>. This regular expression means to match any characters between angle brackets (< >) and can be used to match HTML tags. This regular expression is used in the code to replace HTML tags with empty strings, thereby removing HTML tags and obtaining plain text.

In addition to Java, there are similar operations in Python. The following is the code to remove HTML tags in Python:

import re html = '
这是一个段落
示例链接' text = re.sub('<.*?>', '', html) print(text)

In this code, we use the regular expression function sub() in Python's re module. The first parameter of this function is the regular expression, the second parameter is the string to be replaced, and the third parameter is the original string. Using similar regular expressions, you can also remove tags from HTML code and get plain text.
