I'm quite new to Swift and native programming, and for a small project I'm doing for myself I'm getting in the full html after doing a twitter search, and I'm trying to filter out just the text of the first tweet. I'm up to the point were I'm able to get the first tweet, including all the tags that are in there, but I'm a bit clueless on how to filter just the text out of there and remove the HTML elements. 

For example, it's pretty easy to take a single tweet and filter out the possible `<a href="">` and `<span>` etc. But when I'd change the tweet or search, it wouldnt work as specific. The thing I'm looking for really is on how to remove everything in a string that starts with < and ends with >. This way I'm able to filter out all the stuff I don't need in my string. I'm using "string.componentsSeparatedByString()" to grab the one tweet I need out of all the HTML, but I can't use this method to filter all the stuff out of my string. 

Please bear with me since I'm quite new at this, I'm aware that I'm possibly not even doing this right at all and there's a way easier method to pull a single tweet instead of all this hassle. If so, please let me know as well.
