try stripHtmlTags(); method 
  
String s1 = '<b>hello world</b>';

Hi, Thanks for reply. I have try this method allready.

stripHtmlTags(); method of string eliminate html tags only.It does not work for rtf text.

Thanks

Hi Khilan,

What exactly your requirment you need to assign the richtextArea value to TextArea right ? and the value in you RichTextArea  is that you have given above .
I think the method sura has given will  work that I have already used before .

Check with below poc .it is working .
  
trigger RichTextAreaTest on Account (before Insert,before update) {
    for(Account acc : trigger.new){
        acc.TextArea__c =acc.RichtextArea__c.stripHtmlTags();
        
    }
}

Hi Manoj,

I have richText value in textArea field. I need to remove rich text to extract the usable information.

For Example in the textArea i have value as below:

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Tahoma;}} {\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.21.2510;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs17 Ben called with updated CC info 7/3/14...going forward use\par \par 4856 3100 1190 8431 \par exp 12/16 \fs17 }

From this rtf text i need to extract information:

Ben called with updated CC info 7/3/14...going forward use
4856 3100 1190 8431
exp 12/16

but the method you provide stripHtmlTags remove only html tags only.

Hope this make sense.

Thanks
