I wrote an app that shows last posts through API, and I'm using a regex to strip HTML tags from the result (that is actually plain text).

post.contentHtml retrieve the last post

example retrieved: "hi this is my last post <b>with</b> some html tags"

so my line is:

 post.contentHtml().replace(/<\/?[^>] (>|$)/g, '')

example retrieved: "hi this is my last post with some html tags"

Now sometimes users post text with image URLs, and I want to replace all image URLs with a FontAwesome icons.

Is this possible with JavaScript?

post.contentHtml().replace(/<\/?[^>] (>|$)/g, '').replace(/(https?:\/\/\S (\.png|\.jpg|\.gif))/g, '
