Need help extracting text from .htm files
 

I downloaded (using wget) almost 3000 .htm files from a dictionary web site. Now I want to write a script that will extract the text from these .htm files. I'm a total newbie with awk/sed/perl/grep. Any suggestions?

There's a utility called html2text. It's probably available in the repos of whatever distro you're using. Probably the package is called html2text. You might even have it installed already

Thanks
 

OK, I will try html2txt. Thanks!

This version of html2txt works perfect. ( html2text doesn't.)
