HTML Stripper

When I purchased 4.5, I used to have a pretty decent HTML stripper that was in my macro program. Did the upgrade to the 4.62 and now it is gone because I had to remove the old 4.5 version to make 4.62 work okay.
Anyone know where I can get that macro again? Or did I just miss it here in the download library?

What about a simple regular expression search, where you search for
and replace it with "" (nothing)?
As long as you are sure that every
displaying "<" and ">" is written as "&" and "&", what about "HTML stripping" is more complicated than this?

A regular expression? If you say so.... Maybe that Discrete Mathematics course next quarter WILL make a difference

Just check "Regular Expression" in the "Replace" dialog.
And then, check out my FAQ on TextPad regular expressions, at the url below.

Hmmm... The forum logged me out, so my signature (and therefore "the url below") didn't print. Here it is...
Found it....

Well, what I was looking for was under the
Configure | Preference | Macros
section. Actually, there are 2, but I had to highlight one and add it and now it is there.
