How to strip out particular text using VBScript

I have got below text as string

test = "<span class='convert'>USD 30</span>"

I need to write a function in VBSCript which will take above string as input and will return USD 30 as output.

Please suggest

If your input text is more complicated than the example you've given, I would recommend using an XML library such as MSXML to parse the text. Otherwise, you can use a regex

Const test = "<span class='convert'>USD 30</span>"
dim regex: set regex = new RegExp
regex.pattern = ">([^<]*)"
dim matches: set matches = regex.execute(test)
dim output: output = Empty
if matches.Count <> 0 then
    output = matches(0).submatches(0)
end if
Response.Write output

output = Replace (Replace(test , "<span class='convert'>",""),"</span>","")
