Getting the text content of a HTML page

[H Baric]

Ahhhh, thanks Mark. A bit scattered am I at times... okay most times... but 
your script makes perfect sense now and I'm sure it will work. Haven't tried 
it again yet though - next on Experiments-To-Do!

I've been having fun using bits and pieces from everyone's offerings the 
last couple of days, and I really have learned so much more today, with some 
previously headscratcher concepts *starting* to click, so thanks again 
everyone :)

Another question though before I close this bloomin HTML thing and do 
something different (like my abandoned Notepad app).

How do I delete lines (in the resulting text extracted from the html page) 
that contain a url in them? They appear by themselves on separate lines...

I'm currently trying this but really, as you can see, it don't work, and 
that I am confuzzled still by how some things do/are supposed to work:

-- delete lines with a url displayed

repeat for each line tLine in field "thePage" -- or is it better/more 
efficient to do this while still in a variable prior to putting into field?

if "http://" is in tLine then

put replacetext(tLine,"http://*","") -- HALP!

end if

end repeat

MEHHHH. LMAO!! Or should it be done with a different script altogether?

--- Side Question: When you declare "tLine" in the repeat line, what [does | 
will] this variable contain?! Every line in the field? Or just lines as per 
rest of script, or, some, thing!? (one of those headscratchers)

Cheers,
Heather

Heather,

My little example filters out all line that have a < followed by a >.

I thought you were putting returns before the <'s and after the >'s,
which should make the example work, since all tags would be on their
own separate line, if the site doesn't contain any mistakes.
