How do you convert HTML to plain text in a field?

Hi Guys

I have a field named Comments that is in HTML format:

Comments="<div class="ExternalClass05ED2D0CB5224BC285C4E4A53F3717E0">Adobe Air Run-Time;IMS 564125</div>"

Is there a simple way to show it in plain text? I don't want to use regex as there are almost unlimited options.

Are you wanting to show the contents of the div? I think regex would still be you answer for that.

props.conf:

[<sourcetype>]
REPORT-comments = comments_contents

transforms.conf:

[comments_contents]
SOURCE_KEY = Comments
REGEX = >(?<comments_contents>[^<]+)<
