This is how I am handling a download I do daily. The general statement 
is pretty simple but note I also handle a special set of characters just 
after. Perhaps there is a general rule you could make there.

-- Remove HTML tags
   repeat for each line aLine in data
     repeat while matchchunk(aLine,"<*>")
       delete char offset("<",aLine) to offset(">",aLine) of aLine
     end repeat
     put aLine & return after outData
   end repeat

   -- Remove certain HTML characters which happen to be in the text I 
process
   replace " " with empty in outData
   replace tab with empty in outData
