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).

html2stx
html2stx(1) General Commands Manual html2stx(1)
NAME
html2stx - convert HTML documents into Stx
SYNOPSIS
html2stx [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
html2stx takes the given file, which should contain an HTML document, and converts it to structured text (Stx). If no file is given, stan-
dard input is read instead.
The program does not attempt to convert every possibly convertible piece of markup into Stx. For example, <font> tags are simply ignored.
This tends to result in a nice, clean, beautiful document. (If it doesn't, the source document probably does not contain enough informa-
tion to start with.)
OPTIONS
None.
DIAGNOSTICS
html2stx is a python script and will throw an exception if something goes amiss. In this case, the return value will be non-zero.
SEE ALSO
stx2any (1), Stx-ref.html
BUGS
o The word wrapping algorithm is probably not very clever.
o Sometimes there are extra linebreaks in the output.
o Probably many others.
AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Panu A. Kalliokoski.
html2stx is derived from the html2text utility by Aaron Swartz. html2text is a utility for converting html into "Markdown" structured
text; the changes required to make it work for Stx were done by Panu Kalliokoski.
