How do I strip tags from a string?

Hello and thank you for reading this!

Say, I have a string like this:

This {p=1}is {p=2.3}a {p=200}sample {p=1.0}text.

And I want to strip all the {p=?} tags from this string so I would have:

This is a sample text.

How can I do that?

Many thanks.

Wow! That's pretty neat.

Thanks a bunch dop2000.
