Script: Removing HTML tags and duplicate lines

Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
You will write a script that will remove all HTML tags from an HTML document and remove any consecutive duplicate lines, and save it as a text document. The user should have the option of including the name of an html file as an argument for the script, but if none is provided, then the script should prompt the user for the file name.

Something is wrong with this script I just can't figure out what it is. It says it can't find the file yet it exists. I also have no clue how to direct the updated file to a new text document properly.

2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:




3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

cd ~
read -p "What file would you like to clean? " html

if [ -f $html ]
then
sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' $html | uniq > syllabus.html.txt
else
echo "File does not exist."
fi



4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):
Jackson Community College, Jackson MI, USA, M. Brinkman, CIS106


Note: Without school/professor/course information, you will be banned if you post here! You must complete the entire template (not just parts of it).

NAME
pods2html - translate a tree of PODs to HTML SYNOPSIS
"pods2html" ["--base" url] ["--css" url] ["--empty"] ["--index" title] ["--module"] ["--"["no"]"toc"] ["--hr" level] ["--bgcolor" #rrggbb] ["--text" #rrggbb] ["--variables" values.pl] PODdir HTMLdir [template [variable=value ...]] DESCRIPTION
"pods2html" finds all the .pod and .pm files in the directory tree rooted at PODdir. It translates each POD to HTML, and writes it to a parallel directory tree rooted at HTMLdir It makes the HTML files world-readable. If a template file is provided, then template will be filled in by the "Text::Template" module and written to dest. Here is a minimal template, showing all the variables that are set by "pods2html". <html> <head> <base href="{$base}"> <link href="{$css}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <title>{$title}</title> </head> <body bgcolor="{$bgcolor}" text="{$text}"> {$toc} {$body} </body> </html> If the "--variables" option is provided, then the file values.pl will be executed with a "do" call before the template is filled in. values.pl may contain arbitrary Perl code. The program fragments in the template are evaulted in the "Pod::Tree::HTML" package. Any variables that values.pl sets in this package will be available to the template. Additional scalar variables may be set on the command line with the variable=value syntax. Variables set on the command line override variables set in values.pl. OPTIONS
"--base" url Specifies a base URL for HTML links. "--css" url Specifies a Cascanding Style Sheet for the generated HTML pages. Here are example rules for all the different HTML elements that may appear in a POD. a:link { background: #ff8080 } body { background: #f0f0f0 } code { background: #c0ffc0 } dd { background: #ffffe0 } dl { background: #fffff0 } dt { background: #ffffc0 } h1 { background: #ffc0c0 } h2 { background: #ffe0e0 } hr { background: #ff0000; height: 5px } i { background: #ffc0c0 } li { background: #e0e0e0 } ol { background: #fff0ff } p { background: #f0f0ff } pre { background: #f0fff0 } ul { background: #f0ffff } "--empty" Creates HTML files for empty PODs. If this option is not provided, then no HTML file is created for empty PODs. "--index" title Writes an index of all the HTML files to HTMLDir/index.html. title is used as the title of the index page. "--module" Ignores files in directories named t/ and blib/. Useful for translating PODs in a module development directory. "--"["no"]"toc" Includes or omits the table of contents. Default is to include the TOC. "--hr" level Controls the profusion of horizontal lines in the output, as follows: level horizontal lines 0 none 1 between TOC and body 2 after each =head1 3 after each =head1 and =head2 Default is level 1. "--bgcolor" #rrggbb Set the background color to #rrggbb. Default is white. "--text" #rrggbb Set the text color to #rrggbb. Default is black. REQUIRES
"Pod::Tree::HTML", "HTML::Stream" BUGS
The recursion check doesn't work on Win32. This means that the program will enter an infinite recursion if HTMLdir is a subdirectory of PODdir. SEE ALSO
