Cannot remove html from string

Question

I downloaded some data from a site, and I got this string: Guangzhou R&F, as you can see within the string I have also amp; but the correct string (displayed on the site) is: Guangzhou R&F.

So I'm trying to remove that string using Regex, the expression I wrote is this:

public static string RemoveHtml(string input)
{
    return Regex.Replace(input, @"<[^>]+>|&nbsp;", "").Trim();
}

the problem is that the Regex expression doesn't remove the amp; what I did wrong?

Answer 1

You don't need to manually replace or remove HTML, read about Character encodings in HTML

Here is the solution what you need:

System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(input);
