Strip out HTML Tags etc from NSString [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try this method to remove HTML tags from a String:

- (NSString *)stripTags:(NSString *)str
{
    NSMutableString *html = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:[str length]];

    NSScanner *scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:str];
    scanner.charactersToBeSkipped = NULL;
    NSString *tempText = nil;

    while (![scanner isAtEnd])
    {
        [scanner scanUpToString:@"<" intoString:&tempText];

        if (tempText != nil)
            [html appendString:tempText];

        [scanner scanUpToString:@">" intoString:NULL];

        if (![scanner isAtEnd])
            [scanner setScanLocation:[scanner scanLocation] + 1];

        tempText = nil;
    }

    return html;
}
