Text editor or other software with text extraction?

[Danny9]

Hi,

I have lots of html files and would like to rip out a section from each one, the text/code varies so might not always be in between tags. Any quick/easy ways to do this?

For example I might want to get everything (text and html) between
the word Home near top of page and the word Copyright near bottom and save to a new file.

Another example: get everything between the strings “Test”
Test
some html code
Test

Can I ask what you need it for? I mean, can’t you just copy and paste everything that is between the words Home and Copyright?

I can do that yes but there are lots of pages so I need batch/automation.

Browsing the net it seems I need Regular Expressions but I’ve no idea how to write a regular expression to find everything between two words.

The ultimate goal is to have everything between two matching words (such as “Test” and “Test” ) removed leaving a file stripped of all the code and text between “test” and “test”.
