Stripping Html content from response

Question

We need to remove particular string from HTML response created by server through JAVA code. For example, I need to remove comment tag from the HTML response before sending the response to client. Any help will be appreciated..

Answer 1

Try this

int lowerIndex = <response String>.indexOf('<!--'));
int upperIndex = <response String>.indexOf('-->'));

You will get starting and ending indexes of the comment tag. Then you can do

String newString = <responseString>.substring(0,lowerIndex)+<responseString>.substring(upperIndex)
