Hello Monks,

I have a question regarding the clean up of some paragraphs. Is there any universal way to clean up these junks, so that I can can apply the universal method in all the cases. I have a lot of paragraphs like these but not all are the same, but they all contain some type of junks like these. The examples are as below,

$data = '%3CP style=%22MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px%22%3EAbbVi +e (NYSE:ABBV) is a global, research-based biopharmaceutical company formed in 2013 following separation from Abbott.

In 2013, AbbVie will employ approximately 21,000 people worldwide and markets medicines in more than 170 countries.%3C/P%3E%0A%3CP style=%22MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px%22%3E%26nbsp;%3C/P%3E%0A%3CDIV%3EPRIMARY FUNCTIO +N / PRIMARY GOALS / OBJECTIVES:%3C/DIV%3E%0A%3CUL%3E%0A%3CLI%3ESupervis +es the determination of a client area application systems requirements for new or modified application programs, the preparation of system +s specifications and the development, testing and implementation of efficient, cost effective applications solutions.%26nbsp; %0A%3CLI%3EActs as expert technical resource to development staff.%26nbsp; %0A%3CLI%3ESupervise, manage and prioritize as neede +d the weekly and monthly data warehousing operations, managing a vend +or managed services team that performs the operational tasks.%26nbsp; %0A%3CLI%3EPartner with primary business clients to prioritize the operations schedule when normal operations and schedules are impacted.%3C/LI%3E%3C/UL%3E%0A%3CDIV%3E%3CBR%3ECORE JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:%3C/DIV%3E%0A%3CUL%3E%0A%3CLI%3EResponsible for compliance with applicable Corporate and Divisional Policies and procedures. %0A%3CLI%3EUnderstands organization%27s vision, goals a +nd strategies.

This one is over.

Next one is like below,

$data = '%3CP style=%22MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px%22%3E%26nbsp;%3C/P%3E%0A%3CUL%3E%0A%3CLI%3EBachelor%27s degree +or equivalent experience, preferably in software engineering, business +, information systems, or a discipline closely related to the client area served. %0A%3CLI%3E7-10 years overall experience %0A%3CLI%3EIT +IL or related disciplines preferred. %0A%3CLI%3EExperience in a commercial IT or commercial Sales Operations organization preferred.%3C/LI%3E%3C/UL%3E%0A%3CP style=%22MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px%22%3E%26nbsp;%3C/P%3E'

These are two examples, there are a lot of them, Kindly any Monks please provide me a universal solution for this.

Thanks in advance.
