G'day
I have some pages written by a bot and much of the code does not
concern the visible content on the site. I'd like to strip all the
codes that do not affect or influence the visible stuff (although I'd
like to keep the nested tables, if possible). Some of this can be
stripped using Search/Replace, but some of it contains codes which
differ from page to page.
How many pages? About 750, totalling 80 megabytes of data, which I'm
hoping to reduce when I "clean" the code.
Do you know of any tool that can do this? A tool that can be set to
strip all codes except HTML 2.0 would, for example, also be useful
except I'll lose the nested tables (which is not a *gigantic*
loss...).
I tried converting everything to TXT but most HTML2TXT programs
deliver very poor results. I did find some code strippers that
attempt to maintain the tables layout (but that is even less
preferred). If the stuff is gonna be in plaintext, then there should
be an intelligent way of dealing with nested tables.
Any advice, people? What tool can you recommend? Preferably for W95x
(but Linux would be fine too as long as it is newbie-friendly),
preferably freeware (or shareware, but I don't intend buying).

HTML Tidy might help a lot. It can be set to 'clean' the pages, it will
then drop all presentational markup. http://tidy.sf.net/

Can you give an URL for a sample ? The answer will depend on where the text

True. Here goes: http://leuce.com/translate/tempfile/22265.html (100 kb) http://leuce.com/translate/tempfile/22265.zip (30 kb)
These files are Yahoo group message files from a mailing list group we
have, but you see, Yahoo's message search feature is rubbish and we'd
like to make the archive of old messages available for new members so
that they can *search* the old messages and not ask the same questions
over and over again.
The file for download mentioned above is from a guest login, but the
files I have are logged in which means the e-mail addresses show up
(we'll remove these manually later).
Any thing to reduce the fluff would be nice. We're considering
putting the messages on a web site for Google to index (which would be
*excellent*) but our bandwidth bill will kill us at present.
TIA.

Greetings, all...
I've got an issue that I'm trying to solve and RegExp looks to be my
only avenue.
Background: We are using a popular third party control for input into a
textarea. By default, the text is HTML but the UI does not display the
HTML tags. Because we are using this in a web-messaging scenario, the
user may choose to send their message in plain text and we want to
display that on the screen.

Hello,
I want to transform text with HTML markup to plain text. Is there some
simple way how to do it?
I can surely write my own function, which would simply strip everything with
< and >. But if someonew has already written something similar for .NET, I
would prefer more clever solution, which would try to retain original
layout, at least paragraphs, hyperlinks etc - something like Outlook does
when changing HTML to plain text.

Hi all,
Controls such as the tree view or list view use image lists hence I can set
the quality of icons to 32bit. This way they look their best.
Unfortunately both the menu and tool bar strip control don't use image lists.
How can I still achieve 32bit icon quality (icons are natively 32bit) in
these controls? I don't see any such property in either of them.

Hi all,
The tool strip control is set to flow layout, no autosize and to anchor top,
left.
When the form is maximized all the icons and text fit in one line across the
screen.
The menu strip stays with the default height causing there to be a space
from left to right under all icons.

Hi,
I'm a complete PHP n00b slowly finding my way around
I'm using the following function that I found on php.net to strip
out html and return only the text. It works well except for when
you find styles embedded within the tags
eg: <h3 id="pageName">Have a great day!! </h3>
This throws an error, whereas
<h3 >Thank you for your purchase! </h3works like a charm.
It also falls over when crappy code has <h3> </h3between
the tags.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
