Make my forum just display plain text

[Andi03]

Hi.

 

How do I display all the info from my DB as plain text even if someone have entered som HTML och som other code into the post field in my forum

 

Ex. If someone replays to a message in my forum and enter this into to the the text field:

<font size='7'>Test</font>

 

How do I make so when I get the info from the DB so it wont display test in size seven insted it should write out <font size='7'>Test</font>

 

Do you understand what Im want to do?

What you are looking for are Regular Expressions (System.Text.RegularExpression)

 

Solution for your prob:

string inputString = "<big>test</big>";
		Regex r = new Regex("<[^>]*>");
		string HtmlCuttedString = r.Replace(inputString, "");

Regards!

WebJumper, I think what he wants is to display the tags as-is not to render them.

[WebJumper]

you think so?

 

then type:

string s = "<big>test</big>";
s = s.Replace("<", "<").Replace(">", ">");

Yeah that would work.
