Check over at cflib.org. They have a bunch of hmtl related functions. I only reviewed the description, but this one might do the trick.

You might still take a look at the functions at cflib.org anyway. Many of the authors are much more knowledgeable about regular expressions than your average person. They often catch flaws in what may appear to be a "good" expression. Plus it has a wide user base. So problems or bugs tend to surface and be corrected quickly.

> REReplaceNoCase(str,"<[^>]*>","","ALL");

I mention it because IIRC the stripHTML function used to use that code. So I am assuming it was updated for good reason ;-)
