Taking data from a text file to parse html page

[DH]

Frederic,
Good points...

I have a plain text file containing the html and words that I want
removed(keywords) from the html file, after processing the html file it
would save it as a plain text file.

So the program would import the keywords, remove them from the html
file and save the html  file as something.txt.

I would post the data but it's secret. I can post an example:

index.html (html page)

"
<div><p><em>"Python has been an important part of Google since the
beginning, and remains so as the system grows and evolves.
"</em></p>
<p>-- Peter Norvig, <a class="reference"
"


replace.txt (keywords)
"
<div id="quote" class="homepage-box">

<div><p><em>"

"</em></p>

<p>-- Peter Norvig, <a class="reference"

"

something.txt(file after editing)

"

Python has been an important part of Google since the beginning, and
remains so as the system grows and evolves.
"


Larry,

I've looked into using BeatifulSoup but came to the conculsion that my
idea would work better in the end.


Thanks for the help.
