[Tutor] extract plain english words from html

Sat Oct 15 00:50:07 CEST 2005

hi.

i have a ton of html files from which i want to
extract the plain english words, and then write
those words into a single text file.

example:
<html>
<head>
<... all kinds html tags ...>
<font color=99cccc size=5>
this is text
</font>

from the above, i want to extract the string 
'this is text' and write it out to a text file.
note that all of the html files have the same 
format, i.e. the text is always surrounded by the same
html tags.
also, i am sorting through thousands of
html files, so whatever i do needs to be
fast.

any ideas?
