Is there a quick way to remove short and long description html text formatting

[fleeze]

Hello - I have a Prestashop site which has 379 products which have manually been copied and pasted from ebay. The short and long description fields feature tables as well as text so when they were copied and pasted into prestashop all of ebay's inline html formatting has been pasted too. Leaving me with a very messy looking Prestahsop site - is there a quick way to remove all of this inline formatting (such as span, style tags), but keep all of the basic html (such as table and paragraph tags). Or is the only way to do this to manually rewrite each short and long description.

You can try to write a program that will go through the database content of those fields and trip out the code you need, but it will require using some regex to strip out just the code you need.

Unless you are quite familiar with regex, it may take you longer to write the script that it would to manually change them.
