Greetings ProcMail Gurus,
I will cut to the chase here:
Isn't there a command-line method for stripping HTML using perl?
This is not a procmail question, but I have gotten so sick of it
that I looked up the answer.
The long way is a script like this:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5.004
use HTML::Parse;
use HTML::FormatText;
$/=undef;
$rawhtml = <>;
$html = parse_html($rawhtml);
$formatter = new HTML::FormatText;
print $formatter->format($html);
Shorter would be:
perl5.004 -MHTML::Parse -MHTML::FormatText -0777e '$f=new
HTML::FormatText;print $f->format(parse_html(<>))'
I don't know of a module to interpert MIME mail so you can decode
MIME parts inline, but one probably exists. Look in the Mail::
or MIME:: modules.
