You sure you will always get <$500 and i have to spent > like this, $ symbol next to angle bracket?

Hi Akhil,

You could refer this link[^], it will help you to remove the HTML tags from your string but you need customize more to get expected answer

If you want you can do it in C#, below is the code snippet you can make use of.

HTML

string htmlString = @"<P>This is a test Message</P> My salary is <$500 and i have to spent >Rs 899 <br/> Please suggest<font></Font>";
            string outputString = string.Empty;
            System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex rx = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@"<[^>]\S*>");
            outputString = rx.Replace(htmlString, "");

String handling is always easy in C# when compared to SQL for most of them ;-)
So I recommend you to get the string from sql server and manipulate in C# (may be)

Hope this helps you a bit.

Regards,
RK
