Strip HTML from files in a directory
Does anyone know if there's a way to use an HTML stripper in Perl to scrub the HTML from all files in a specified directory? If so, would you point me in the correct direction.

I would recommend something like use HTML::TreeBuilder; my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_content($html); print $tree->as_text; but the details depend on your application.

Aside from using that in a .pl file, how else could I execute that for multiple files in a directory? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/

Whoops, that would have printed out each file to stdout, this one
opens a new file per input file.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
die "usage: $0 FILE(s)\n" unless @ARGV > 0;
for my $file (@ARGV) {
my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new;
$tree->parse_file($file_name);
open my $fh, ">", "$file_name.txt"
or die "could not open $file_name.txt: $!";
print $fh $tree->as_text;
}
