title: How can I clean HTML tags out of a ColdFusion string?
body: <p>I am looking for a quick way to parse HTML tags out of a ColdFusion string. We are pulling in an RSS feed, that could potentially have anything in it. We are then doing some manipulation of the information and then spitting it back out to another place. Currently we are doing this with a regular expression. Is there a better way to do this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;cfloop from="1" to="#ArrayLen(myFeed.item)#" index="i"&gt;
    &lt;cfset myFeed.item[i].description.value = 
     REReplaceNoCase(myFeed.item[i].description.value, '&lt;(.|\n)*?&gt;', '', 'ALL')&gt;
  &lt;/cfloop&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>We are using ColdFusion 8.</p>
