Getting web page text from HTML

[Ignacio X. Domínguez]

Hi everyone. Which is the easiest way to obtain the text from a web page?
Actually I can get the HTML code for the page but what I need is to get the
text of the page without any tag, comment, script, link(I want these as
text), etc. Is there any class in C# that does this in a similar way as the
strip_tags() function in PHP?

Thanks!

Ignacio

See the grabbing HTML tags bit here :

You can use regex in your program to get the text

Also, if the page is strict XHTML I think you could parse it using
System.Xml
