    Hi Guys,

    I hope you can help me. I urgently need a perl script that will basically take a bunch of files in a specific directory and go through each one to strip out a tag. Do you know where I can get such a script or can anyone outline a simple one here? I have tried all the usual script sources on the net and can't find one.

    If you want something that will scan for HTML files in a single directory and strip one tag from each of those files then try this one. It doesn't overwrite the original file but creates a new one with a *.html.notag extension.
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

@html_files = glob("*.html");    # Finds all html files in a dir

foreach $file (@html_files) {

   @html = ();

   open(HTML, "<$file") or die $!;
   @html = <HTML>;
   close(HTML) or die $!;

   for (@html) { s/<TITLE>//gi; }

   open (FILE, ">$file.notag") or die $!;
   print FILE @html;
   close(FILE) or die $!;
}

    If you want to strip all the tags from a file then look into the HTML::* modules, most likely HTML::Parse and HTML::FormatText modules.

    Hope this helps some.
