Stripping html tags (was Re: Problem with revExecuteSQL - More)

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Richard,

Thanks to you for sharing this code snippet from Ken:
I was not using the field method (we discussed about this may be two  
years ago) because, if I remember well (but it's a bit confused in my  
mind), we found it had to be placed in a substack to avoid some  
problem I don't even remember, etc.

But using a virtual field sounds really great :-)
Kudos to Ken to have had this illumination!
I am not so surprised...

Nevertheless, stripTags function can help because it is able to  
master special tags that may be Rev just suppress...
This is for Andre :-)

I saw that Jim posted the function a bit modified.
The one used in the Rev Search Engine is, as I said, in the card's  
script and is not protected then accessible by all who have Rev 2.7  
of later.
