Getting the text content of a HTML page

[viktoras didziulis]

whoops sorry, I tested this with basic tags like <b>jsajka</b>. The next 
'thing' seem to work OK (the text is in fText field):

put replaceText(fld "fText","</?[A-Za-z1-9 ='" & quote & "]+>","") into 
fld "fText"

A small explanation:
/? means zero or 1 occurence of / - because tags may be either opening 
(without /) or closing (with /)
[A-Za-z1-9 ='" & quote & "]+ - one or more occurrences of any symbol 
from A to Z and a to z and 1 to 9 including space, single and double 
quote. Sorry, I used & quote & fo double quote because I could not 
figure it out how to escape quotes in Revolution...
