Sometimes you need to strip the markup of a string (like when you want to make the interactive search in GtkTreeView work...)

This function shows you how and also gives an example, all at once!

void test()
{
GRegex *pattern;
gchar *result, *string;

string =
g_strdup
("GtkPerf 0.40 Graphics test, installed\nThis test calculates the average frame-rate from several different GTK operations.");

pattern = g_regex_new(g_strdup("<(.|\n)*?>"), G_REGEX_DOTALL | G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE, 0, NULL);

result = g_regex_replace_literal(pattern, string, -1, 0, g_strdup(""), 0, NULL);

printf("string:\n%s\n\nresult:\n%s\n", string, result);

}

Here's the sample output:

Code: (Plaintext)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7	string: <b>GtkPerf 0.40</b> <span color="#737373"><b>Graphics</b> test, <b>installed</b> </span><span color="#999999"><small>This test calculates the average frame-rate from several different GTK operations.</small></span> result: GtkPerf 0.40 Graphics test, installed This test calculates the average frame-rate from several different GTK operations.
