extract text from html

[Patrick]

I've got some text with a few HTML tags, such as the following
<Bold>Hello</Bold>There buddy<p>please .....

I need to be able to extract just the text, which would be
Hello there buddy please....

Note, this is a Windows App, and not a Web App.
Any ideas anyone?

Patrick ,

if you mean your Goal is just simply removing the HTML tags from a string

i made a function for this purpose with some Regex

Private Function stripHTML(ByVal strHTML) As String

Dim objRegExp As New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("<(.|\n)+?>")

Return objRegExp.Replace(strHTML, "")

End Function

i use this in a winforms app that stripes websites for valuable information
with a webclient
