Hello sarkis and all,

I have a related problem which hopefully someone a bit more
knowledgable can help with as well - I need to batch convert a number
of HTML files into a format suitable for import into a database or
spreadsheet program - Comma Separated Values would probably be the
best option. In my case the HTML files are in a columnal form (output
from a database), so it SOUNDS easy enough in theory, but so far I
haven't found a solution. HTTX will strip all the HTML tags and give
clean, columnal format, but how do I convert to a format suitable for
database or spreadsheet import, and most importantly, can it be done
in a batch mode, the way that Sarkis is talking about.

Bye for now,
Terry
