I have many html files named like these:
c:\dir\femo-black.html
c:\dir\loren-white.html
c:\dir\spark-white.html
c:\dir\kim-black.html
c:\dir\paul-white.html
How can I convert only the files named "c:\dir\*-white.html" to
plaintext files named c:\dir\(origina l filename)-text.txt?
Is there a PHP module that does a good quality conversion HTML to
plaintext? 7 1855

See this:

Isn't there something of higher quality, like the rendering engine of
the textual browser Lynx?

I guess you dont't simply want to remove all the tags. You rather want
to make sure, that the content of your <h1>-element is followed by an
empty line or that your <p>-elements are indented, etc.
This might seem a little oversized, but if all of your files have the
same structure, you might want to create an XSLT and have PHP
transform it to whatever strucure you prefer.
Check out the PHP manual here http://www.php.net/ref.xsl and maybe
this tutorial on XSLT http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/

Oli, there are ready and open source converters available like Lynx,
Links, ELinks, W3M etc...
I think that it's not the case to re-write with XSLT what's it's
already done by others with many years of work.
I hoped that PHP had an integrated solution for this, like the engine
of one of the mentioned textual browsers...

Usually very simple. Install Lynx on youre server and call Lynx by one
of the command executing functions of PHP: http://php.net/exec
Other Options you dont have without alot of work...

sure, not a performance wonder :-)
better you write a shellscript that reads all resources from a file
(maybee dynamic generated) and handles it by lynx in a loop. Thats faster

Because I've had recipients of our newsletter tell us they can't (or
won't) receive HTML e-mail, I found out how to make an e-mail that
sends both HTML and a plaintext version in a multipart message.
Problem is, while the HTML version shows up fine in HTML enabled
clients like Outlook, in plaintext clients it either shows nothing in
the body or just an attachment link to the message source code.
I've tried different encodings and bits...

Before I begin, I realise there's a big war regarding HTML in e-mails.
Personally, I don't like it. Unfortunately, I'm being paid by my
company to create an automated newsletter for our customers.
I did all I could just to get them to allow me to have it sent in both
plaintext and HTML so that the e-mail clients have a choice.
Anyway. I've looked around the RFC's and the source of similar e-mails,
and I'm certain I figured out how to do...

Hey there,
mmmm does anyone know a library or anything I can use to convert

trick to a certain level, but maybe there's already a useful library out
there which I might have a look at..
Thanks,

I've done a google search on this but, amazingly, I'm the first guy to
ever need this! Everyone else seems to need the reverse of this. Actually,
I did find some people who complained about this and rolled their own
solution but I refuse to believe that Python doesn't have a built-in
solution to what must be a very common problem.
So, how do I convert HTML to plaintext? Something like this:
<div>This is a string.</div>

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
