How to filter out RichText from a string?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

To make it simple, I have a textbox where the user writes their code, the keywords are then rendered in with richtext to be a different colour, but it would cause problems if the player backspaced and deleted the rich text formating, which wouldn’t get re-formatted as the keyword isn’t strictly what it should be.

Basically my system right now is:

line input → formatting algorithmn → line output

What I need it to be:

line input → rich text filtered → formatting algorithmn → line output

If you want the text without the tags as a string use the ContentText property of UI text elements.
