I want to remove an HTML tag from string for example remove div,p,br,...

I'm trying to do this:

var mystring = "<div><p>this</p><p>is</p><p>my</p><p>text</p><p>sample</p><p> </p><p> </p></div>"

var html3 = $(mystring).text();

but the result is:

"thisismytextsample  "

How can do it like : "this is my text sample"

Reset to default

You can get all p tag text in array and then join them with spaces:

$(mystring).find('p').map(function() {
   return $(this).text();
}).toArray().join(' '));

You can use replace function : 

var mystring="<div><p>this</p><p>is</p><p>my</p><p>text</p></div>"
var stripped = mystring.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/ig," "); // this is my text

Try this using regular expression

var mystring="<div><p>this</p><p>is</p><p>my</p><p>text</p><p>sample</p><p> </p><p> </p></div>"


function RemoveHTMLTags(string1) {
            var regX = /(<([^>]+)>)/ig;
            var html = string1;
            return html.replace(regX, " ");
        }


var res = RemoveHTMLTags(mystring);

alert(res);
