JavaScript: Remove SCRIPT Elements from HTML Using Regular Expressions

This simple code will replace script tags and everthing contained between them with an empty string. The exception is when there is a string contained within the script tag that has the text </script> somewhere in it. This will break it, but some careful programming can overcome this.

Do this is .NET and C#.

Replace links in text with HTML Anchors.

var html = `<p>This is a test</p>

<script type='text/javascript'>
	document.write(123);
</script>

<p>The script tag should have been removed!</p>`;


var scriptRegex = /<script\b[^<]*(?:(?!<\/script>)<[^<]*)*<\/script>/gi;
var html2 = html.replace(scriptRegex, "");
console.log(html2);
alert(html2);
