  Aloha,

  If I have a string "<b>Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum</b>" is there an elegant way to eliminate the '<b>' & '</b>'?

  It would also need to return nothing for the string "<b></b>"

  I could hack something up, but I am thinking it could be accomplished in one line of code.  I am sure there is more than one way to do it.

  As you probably guessed, I am parsing a web page.

  -Matt
