Hi everyone


I just can't seem to figure out how to invent a regular expression
that will strip all HTML tags (except TABLE tags) out of a string and
leave the rest of the text. When a TABLE tag is encountered i need to
strip everything under it.


This will strip all HTML out <[^>]*>


But how do I make it also strip entire TABLE elements?


Perhaps something like <table[^</table>]*</table>|<[^>]*>


Thanks,
Mark
