RE: Stripping html from HTMLBody of an inbound e-mail

Hello,

 

I need to process e-mails coming from a sharepoint form which of course does not submit both html and plaintext formatting, so I need a way to strip the HTML from the email without loosing the cariage returns of the email itself.   I have been looking thru the forums and the docs but i have not been able to figure it out

 

Any suggestions?

I am attaching the code for stripping HTML , it makes use of two classes viz Pattern and Matcher.

 

Please find enclose the sample code :-

string html = 'your html code';

  //first replace all <BR> tags with \n to support new lines

 string result = html.replaceAll('<br/>', '\n');

 result = result.replaceAll('<br />', '\n');

 //regular expression to match all HTML/XML tags

 string HTML_TAG_PATTERN = '<.*?>';

 // compile the pattern  

 pattern myPattern = pattern.compile(HTML_TAG_PATTERN);

 // get your matcher instance

 matcher myMatcher = myPattern.matcher(result);

 //remove the tags

 result = myMatcher.replaceAll('');

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.
