Regex Problem with Database Data (Unicode?)

[progman417]

Hello,

I'm using the following Rexex function to strip HTML tags from text:

return Regex.Replace(t ext, "<.*?>", String.Empty);

If I set text manually to something like "<b>test</b>" then it correctly returns "test".

But ... if I have a field in the database with the same input value, it returns it unmodified.

I'm guessing that the DB value might be Unicode? If so, how can I get the regex expression to work?

Also, is there a way the regex expression could be extended to also cover Encoded Html?

Thanks!

Not sure what was causing it, but now it's working fine!
