Cleaning up html




Can anyone offer me some advice for this problem?

I often need to take text from a web document that has been saved in html.
My somewhat tedious but simple process for some years is to simply loop an xpl routine that defines then deletes everything from the first "less than" bracket to the next "greater than" bracket. I then manually clean up the rest of the junk. It works.
Can I run a CHange command with wildcards that would erase the whole string
between the brackets, such as the following junk?







I'm thinking it would be nice to have one command that would clean out everything between the brackets, then another command deleting the brackets. I tinkered with it briefly yesterday and got nowhere.

Is there a simpler way around this problem?

Thanks

Jay
