I'm in a braindead mode here...

How can I read the visible text contents of a web page into a string? NOT the actual HTML source, I know how to do that... I also don't want to mess around with stripping tags form the source, etc. as I've been playing with that all night and it's just not doing the trick.

I need only the text you see on the page when it's opened in a browser, that's what I want to load into a string.

Any help is much appreciated.

Go to Hotscripts.com and look for a little stripper named Scooby.
Seriously - one of the options does what you want, IIRC.

I can't find anything there named Scooby, but that did lead me to some solutions I do believe will help. Thanks!

Anyway I've got it figured out now. Thanks for the replies.

Well it's not really that I got exactly what I thought I needed figured out, it's more like the path led me on a different direction that did the same thing I was trying to get towards.
