You can use Regex in java to manuplate these kind of thing...
I have one programme.. which can help you if you don't want to google Regrx.
but this programme is for one occurance. you can run it in a loop....

i think you must try with Regrx... that will really help...

class Demo{
public static void main(String args[]){
String str="<html><body>this is test</body></html>";
String str1="<body>";
String str2="</body>";
Demo d1=new Demo();

int startpara=d1.startindex(str,str1);
int endpara=d1.endindex(str,str2);

String finalString=str.substring(0,startpara)+str.substring(endpara+str2.length(),str.length());

System.out.println(finalString);

}

public int startindex(String str, String str1){
int indexstart= str.indexOf(str1,0);
return indexstart;
}

public int endindex(String str,String str2){
int endindex= str.indexOf(str2,0);
return endindex;
}

}

I'd look at using the substring() method with the index of "<html>" and "</html>".

On a side note, do you always want to get a String with only the opening and closing HTML tags?

Hi

Thank you for your reply,can you tell me how to do using regular expression.

You cannot remove a word from a string. Strings are immutable. All you can do is create a new string formed how you want.
