HTML is basically ASCII text with embedded tags. You can roll your own parser to find the text you are looking for or you can use something like TinyXML if your HTML is XHTML-comformant.

Hi.

Instead of using curl or wget, you might consider using lynx, it removes the tags:
Quote:
-dump dumps the formatted output of the default document or one
specified on the command line to standard output. This can be
used in the following way:

lynx -dump Lynx links

-- excerpt from man lynx
or the html2text utility at html2text | mbayer.de

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
