Strip the href link from a link

gistfile1.txt

This will change a string of text link from (for example):

<a href="http://helloworld.com">Cool link</a>

to

helloworld.com


// Just exports the URL as text - with no link.
  striplinks(text) 
  { 
    var re = /<a\s.*?href=[\"\'](.*?)[\"\']*?>(.*?)<\/a>/g;
    var str = text; 
    var subst = '$2';
    var result = str.replace(re, subst);
    return result;
  }
