If I have the following string:
< asd="testJava"><a href="/title/text/">BLA BLA <asddead>
How can I get only the string BLA BLA.
I tried split but it removes me all the chars, I need to remove only those from ">" to "<".
Once I get the string, I'm gonna add it to an ArrayList with array.add();
Can someone help me with the code that removes the strings?
Thank you!
Use regex to replace everything between < and > by nothing:
String newText = oldText.replaceAll("<[^>]*>", "").trim();
2 more notes:
This wouldn't work on something like <a href="foo>com">BLA BLA</a>, since regex would match the > in foo>com and not the corrent one. In such case, I would reccomend a proper HTML / XML parser.
add .trim() to erase any whitespaces before / after your text. Without it, <img> <br> BLA BLA would not resolve into 'BLA BLA', but ' BLA BLA'
Ignoring the implications of expanding this solution to a full HTML parser... you could use replaceAll with a regex.
str = str.replaceAll("<[^>]*>","");
should replace all the html with nothing, leaving just your labelof BLABLA
