Extract text content from HTML in Golang
byte, go, regex, string, substring
Solution
Don't use regular expressions to try and interpret HTML. Use a fully capable HTML tokenizer and parser.

Problem
What's the best way to extract inner substrings from strings in Golang? input: ``` "Hello <p> this is paragraph </p> this is junk <p> this is paragraph 2 </p> this is junk 2" ``` output: ``` "this is paragraph \n this is paragraph 2" ``` Is there any string package/library for Go that already does something like this? ``` package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { longString := "Hello world <p> this is paragraph </p> this is junk <p> this is paragraph 2 </p> this is junk 2" newString := getInnerStrings("<p>", "</p>", longString) fmt.Println(newString) //output: this is paragraph \n // this is paragraph 2 } func getInnerStrings(start, end, str string) string { //Brain Freeze //Regex? //Bytes Loop? } ``` thanks
