Question

I got emails and trying to display them on the page in a div. But the mail I got contains body css like body{background-color: #444} makes my pages looked wierd. I am trying to remove the body rule from css. I use jsoup got the style tag html, the only question is how can I remove the rule by regex?

Try this:

String withoutBody = text.replaceAll("body\\s*\\{.*?\\}", "");

Notes;

you must escape the {} chars
in java you must escape the backslash too, that's why they are doubled
the ? in .*? makes the match non-greedy, which means it won't match with another } after the body CSS tag
