replace <xml> tag data with empty javascript

Question

Hi I am having string contents <xml>.....</xml>
I want to replace xml tag with its inner content with the empty string. How can I achieve it by regular expression or javascript.

My Code is -

var tempHtml =  "Test Data Test Data<br>Test data Test Data data ata<br>data<br><br>Testerbr><br><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB</xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> CCCCCCCCCCCCC </xml><![endif]--> here data";


ht = ht.replace("<xml>(.+?)<\/xml>/gi", "");

The regex just needed to be modified, alongside with using the right variable name:

var tempHtml =  "Test Data Test Data<br>Test data Test Data data ata<br>data<br><br>Testerbr><br><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB</xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> CCCCCCCCCCCCC </xml><![endif]--> here data";
tempHtml = tempHtml.replace(/<xml>(.+?)<\/xml>/gi, "");
// Now tempHtml = "Test Data Test Data<br>Test data Test Data data ata<br>data<br><br>Testerbr><br><!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> here data"

But not this is not working with my actual string. Actual string is too big will share with you in couple of minutes

can you share the "actual string" ?

In the code linked, the regex is wrapped with double quotes ("). Remove the double quotes so the second line will be tempHtml = tempHtml .replace(/<xml>(.+?)<\/xml>/gi, "");.
