ViewsHow to convert html string to plain text without html tags in google app script?
I'm new to google app script.
I was trying to convert html string to plain text without html tags in google app script using the reference in this question.
However, when I try to apply it to my script, it is not working as expected.
This is the script that I use:
function toStringFromHtml(html)
{
html = '<div>' + html + '</div>';
html = html.replace(/<br>/g,"");
var document = XmlService.parse(html);
var strText = XmlService.getPrettyFormat().format(document);
strText = strText.replace(/<[^>]*>/g,"");
return strText;
}and this is the output:
While my actual expectation is in the third column.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with my previous script?
Thank you!

If you're running in a browser, then the easiest way is just to let the browser do it for you
function stripHtml(html)
{
let tmp = document.createElement("DIV");
tmp.innerHTML = html;
return tmp.textContent || tmp.innerText || "";
}
