removing html tags from string

Question

I am trying to remove the HTML tags from a string. Right now I am able to remove the complete HTML tags like for example

Answer 1

strippedText[i] = fragments[i]
// full tags
.replace(/<[^>]+>/gm, '')
// partial tags
.replace(/^[^>]+>/gm, '')
.replace(/<[^>]+$/gm, '');

Note that ^ has different meanings: "not" within brackets, "start" outside brackets.

/gm should not be necessary for partial tags, but I left them as I don't know your context and how you're getting partial tags.
