Full Discussion: copy and merge texts between two pattern

copy and merge texts between two pattern
I need
1. to find all the files from a Folder "folder_name" and from its 4 or 5 sub folders which contain a certain pattern "pattern1".
2. from these files copy and merge all the text between "pattern1" and another different pattern "pattern2" to "mergefile".
3. Get rid of every html tag.
4. By doing so, - if possible - I need to write (as first line of the new portion of text to be merged) the name of each file that particular text was taken from.
5. To be attentive because "pattern1" and "pattern2" (which both are always present there) may appear more than once in a same file.

Many thanks for any help (also for just a part of the task)
mjomba

Example of an input file: "xsargg777.html"
pattern1 = "Lectio altera"
pattern2 = "Ad Laudes matutinas"
Code:
