regex - JAVA email message - clip quoted lines -

is there java library clip quoted text email message?

if it's html message, used html parser far , removed blockquotes dom tree have more trouble plain text format.

i tried regex:

    emailbody = emailbody.replaceall("\n>[^\n]*?\n", "\n"); 

but i'm far mastering it, though there has solution since it's problem concerning more people guess. code above replaces lines new lines (after \n) , beginning >, not containing other new lines long there other content , ending \n. think replacement should done starting end of message, , on. it's bit more complicated line of code.

so welcome!

do right consider each line starts > char quoted line?

here's quick solution:

string[] lines = emailbody.split("\n"); stringbuilder clippedemailbuilder = new stringbuilder(); (string line:lines)   if (!line.startswith(">"))      clippedemailbuilder.append(line); emailbody = clippedemailbuilder.tostring();
