Wild card searches

[John]

Other than "*" and *?", are there additional wildcard characters that can be used in searches?

My immediate need is to strip all HTML tags from a text string, but, in general, it would be nice to have more wild card tools.

Thanks.

In your case, I suggest LOAD/MARKUP. Example:

Code:

page: load/markup http://www.rebol.com
remove-each tag page [tag? tag]
print rejoin page

In the general case, learn how to use PARSE.

Thanks.

At your suggestion, I've been learning how to use PARSE.  

Took a while to figure it out at first, but now I can do what I needed.  It's a really neat facility.
