Remove HTML tags from HTML markup string

It is an always challenge to remove HTML tags from html markup strings. We need to write lots of conditions and string operations like replace and substring etc..

In this post couple of functions will help to easily remove HTML tags from strings.

Code Block

               
              public static class HTMLTextHelper
              {
   
                public static string RemoveHtmlTags(string html)
                {
                    int pos = 0;
                    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
                    while (pos < html.Length)
                    {
                        if (html[pos] == '<')
                        {
                            pos = SkipTag(html, pos);
                            builder.Append(' ');
                        }
                        else builder.Append(html[pos++]);
                    }
                    return builder.ToString();
                }

    
                private static int SkipTag(string html, int pos)
                {
                    pos++;
                    while (pos < html.Length)
                    {
                        if (html[pos] == '"' || html[pos] == '\'')
                            pos = SkipString(html, pos);
                        else if (html[pos++] == '>')
                            break;
                    }
                    return pos;
                }


                private static int SkipString(string html, int pos)
                {
                    char quote = html[pos++];
                    while (pos < html.Length)
                    {
                        if (html[pos++] == quote)
                            break;
                    }
                    return pos;
                }
              }

           

I Hope it will help!
