Here is how you can do it:

const input = '<p>Hello, how are you doing <strong>today</strong></p>';

const result = input.replace(/<[^>]+>/g, '');

console.log(result);

Awesome! Thanks. Sorry Regex really confuses me with all the random symbols crammed together.

I suggest you use regex101.com which explains and helps debug regexes
