Hi!
I'm creating an application to update my site's database, and I use the PD HTML Editor to edit each article and save it to the tables.
Now, I'd like to implement a search feature along the articles, and I need to keep a copy of the articles not in HTML code, but in pure text. This will be the field where SQL will search.
That's the question: Is there any property/method declared in the PD HTML Editor to get the pure text, so I assign it to a textarea? How can I get the text without HTML tags?
Thanks!

Please, can anybody help me?

Just playing with an idea here for you. I am not sure how viable it is though. It might start you off - but I haven't thought through it enough but it could work...

On submit split the value in the editor into two variables - html and puretext for example. Both have the same information in each.

Then use the replace function to replace anything that starts with < and ends with > including everything in between.

puretext = Replace(puretext,"<" & * & ">",""

Maybe the code above is out a bit but it might work for you. Basically what I am saying there is replace everything that starts with < and all the text after it until you reach >. Replace this with "" nothing.

Regards,
