Replacing text with Regex

Question

how can I replace the following text in python/javascript

Latency=45.466<span class="interval"> ± 11.462</span>;pass

in a way that it can show final text like this:

Latency=45.466±11.462;pass

Answer 1

You just have to remove the html tags, for that, you can use:

import re
subject = 'Latency=45.466<span class="interval"> ± 11.462</span>;pass'
result = re.sub("<[^>]+>| ", "", subject)
print result
# Latency=45.466±11.462;pass

For JavaScript you can use:

subject = 'Latency=45.466<span class="interval"> ± 11.462</span>;pass'
result = subject.replace(/<[^>]+>| /g, "");
console.log(result);
