in reply to Code does Remove Html

Why can't your tags contain any spaces?
/[^ >]/
In plain English: any character except ">" or a space.

Besides, quoted attributes, either with single or with double quotes, may contain ">" characters.

    bart, from my findings if one was to remove the space in
    /<(([^ >]|\n)*)>/ /
    to
    /<(([^>]|\n)*)>/ /

    The code will remove more none html like.
    1) < sfsdf >
2) < sddsds "dfdsfds" >
3) < sdsds sdsd"sdsdasd" >

    So in those three cases they are text and not html.

      But what about tags like these?
      • <a href="http://perlmonks.org" class="link">
      • <br />

        your right the code /<(([^ >]|\n)*)>/ / does not remove those two.
        But the one code i posted
        $value =~ s/<(([^ >]|\n|\s\w)*)>/ /gso; will remove the <a href="http://perlmonks.org" class="link">
        and if you added |\s\/ will remove the <br />.

        Like.

        $value =~ s/<(([^ >]|\n|\s\w|\s\/)*)>/ /gso;
        I just came up with it and its not 100% tested. But it does the trick. :D

        Updated: Could try $value =~ s/<(([^ >]|\n|\s\/|\s\S\S)*)>/ /gso;
        But Escaping is Much Better!
