Hi Prajwal ,

You can create a new field on you table and copy the HTML text to that filed using the below script.

You have to run this as a background script.

var so=new GlideRecord('-----------------'); //your table name

so.addNotNullQuery('-------------------'); //HTML field name or add a query condition as per your requirement.

so.query();

while(so.next())

{

var a= so.unit_description.getXHTMLValue();

a= a.replace(/&(lt|gt);/g, function (strMatch, p1){

return (p1 == "lt")? "<" : ">";

});

var b = a.replace(/<\/?[^>]+(>|$)/g, "");

so.setDisplayValue('----------------------',b); // New field name

so.update();

}

- Please like or mark as correct/helpful as you see fit.

Hi,

//Strip HTML Tags from Comments and work notes
//Pass commnet in StripCommnet parameter.
stripHTMLTAG: function(stripComment){
stripComment = stripComment.replace(/<\/?[^>]+(>|$)/g, "");
stripComment = stripComment.replace('[code]', ' ');
stripComment = stripComment.replace('[/code]', '');
return stripComment;
},
