Would anyone happen to have RPG code to take HTML and strip off all the tags and just have plain text that would be printed using normal print files? I have a form that needs to be displayed on a web page and also printed from an RPG application. Part of the form is data collected using a rich-text editor on a web page that is stored as HTML in a variable length field. Works great when the form is on a webpage as it is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get function. Any special editing put in the rich-text editor shows on the web page exactly as entered. Problem is taking that html code and printing it using a normal print file to an outq then the printer. Stripping out the html tags might not be too bad. Dealing with <br> tags and <p> tags and <ul><li> can be a bit more challenging but I think word wrap is going to be the hardest. The print file line is 80 characters and I need to be sure to not break a word between lines. Some tricky code and I thought I would just see if anyone might have done this already and would share their code.

Thanks
