RE: wget operational question

[Jeff Holicky]

Thanks Jim.

Yes but the command line version.

I was thinking a few steps ahead I suppose.  The browser apps have an
"htm2txt" type converter built in - technically.  I was sort of thinking
wget should as well.  Was reviewing the docs of this plus cURL (am I allowed
to utter that 4 letter word here?)

FYI to all: (Windows tools - such as the one described)

Thanks Jim - you brought me safely down to the lowest level of where I need
to be.

Cheers!
Jeff

(If we discuss GUI then yes the number of options is limited but in the
command line world there is typically plenty across all platforms)

Of course, sounds like you are using windows; no idea if any of this will
work there.
