You can use HTML Parser like JSoup

For example HTML is

<div style="height:240px;"><br>test: example<br>test1:example1</div>

You can get the html using

Document document = Jsoup.parse(html);
Element div = document.select("div[style=height:240px;]").first();
div.html();

Try a HTML Parser.

If the HTML is escaped, i.e. < instead of < you might have to decode first.

Considering your requirements you might try Jericho HTML Parser

Take a look at TextExtractor class:

Using the default settings, the source segment: "<div><b>O</b>ne</div><div title="Two"><b>Th</b><script>//a script </script>ree</div>" produces the text "One Two Three".

If all you want to do is remove HTML tags from a string, you can do this:

String output = input.replaceAll("(?s)\\<.*?\\>", " ");
