Howdy Zopsters, I want to catalog some html files but I want to strip the html tags out. htmlparser does a good job of that, but when I try to acces that from an external method, I run into trouble. import htmllib import formatter def index(self, html): fmtr = formatter.AbstractFormatter(formatter.DumbWriter(file)) p = htmllib.HTMLParser(fmtr) return p.feed(html) Since the DumbWriter uses stdout, this returns None. When I try to write to a temporary file, or pipe I get 'bad file descriptor' errors because of the way external method function I guess. Any help would really be appreciated. All my best, Jason Spisak 444@hiretechs.com
