Stripe HTML tags in Google Apps Script

Question

I'm looking for fastets way to stripe HTML tags from content in Google Apps Script.

For now I'm using these functions to HTML parsing:

function getTextFromHtml(body) {
  return getTextFromNode(Xml.parse(body, true).getElement());
}

function getTextFromNode(x) {
 switch(x.toString()) {
  case 'XmlText': return x.toXmlString();
  case 'XmlElement': return x.getNodes().map(getTextFromNode).join('');
  default: return '';
 }
}

But for long HTML's this way is so inefficient.

Sample HTML content: http://pastebin.com/FmB4hvN2

Any ideas?

This would remove all tags from the input.

 var text = html.replace(/<[^>]+>/g, "");

If the content you want to replace is always wrapped with < and >, you can do

Regex rgx = new Regex(someString);
string result = rgx.Replace("<[^>]*>", "");
