Remove HTML Tags from an NSString on the iPhone

by

A quick and “dirty” (removes everything between < and >) solution, works with iOS >= 3.2: 

-(NSString *) stringByStrippingHTML {
  NSRange r;
  NSString *s = [[self copy] autorelease];
  while ((r = [s rangeOfString:@"<[^>]+>" options:NSRegularExpressionSearch]).location != NSNotFound)
    s = [s stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:r withString:@""];
  return s;
}

I have this declared as a category os NSString.
