Shortening a list of regexp’s

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Is there any way to make shorten this code here? Like… make it do all of that in just a couple splits?

as = fixmsg.match(/<a href=”/i);
if (as != “null”) {
as2 = fixmsg.split(/<a href=”/i);
as3 = as2.join(“”);
as4 = as3.split(/</a>/i);
for (i=0; i<as4.length; i++) {
as6 = as4[i].split(/>.{0,}/i);
as7 = as6.join(“”);
as8 = as7.split(/”/i);
as9 = as8.join(“”);
as10 = as9.split(/target=_blank/i);
as11 = as10.join(“”);
as12 = as11.split(/mailto:/i);
as13 = as12.join(“”);
as14[i] = as13;
}
as5 = as14.join(“”);
}

Basically what I’m trying to do is to cut down all of the a tags in the fixmsg string, and only show the actual link, not including the <a href> stuff.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. ?

And… if there is any chance that anyone would know a regexp for getting rid of any HTML tags?

<i>
</i>&lt;a href="http://www.webdeveloper.com" onclick="alert(this.getAttribute('href'));return false)"&gt;webdev&lt;/a&gt;

@ChipChampauthorOct 01.2007 — Lol! Didn't even think about that... But then I'd still need to get rid of the tags... So, do you know any way to get rid of all the HTML tags?

@KorOct 02.2007 — What, in fact, is the general picture? What do you intend to do?

@Orc_ScorcherOct 02.2007 — For example, with the input [code=html]<p><a href="example.html">click here.</a></p>[/code] you want the output [code=html]<p>example.html</p>[/code]? Then try<i>
</i>as5 = fixmsg.replace(/&lt;a.*?href="(.*?)".*?/a&gt;/g, "$1")
