replacing two chars using an or (pipes)
String p = "text to search.. through with = and , and ^
System.out.println("result: "+ p.replaceAll(",|=", "") );
if you want to strip all the tags out you can use:
System.out.println("p: "+ p.replaceAll("\\W", " ") );
note.. that will strip spaces too hence we are replacing with " "
to strip tags properly and remove what's between them use
System.out.println("p: "+ p.replaceAll("<[^>]+>", "") );
