This is part of a larger script designed to strip out . Once the tags are removed, the result is written to a file which is then printed out and sent with the order shipment.The only part of the HTML stripping script I can't do is changing entities like © and & to (c) and &. If I replace things like (r) (that's a registered TM symbol) with ® or ® I screw up the original point of the script.To make things even *more* difficult for myself, the HTML stripping is itself part of a larger script designed to emulate a word wrap on my printouts. This script requires counting charcters in words until a limit is hit. If I start expanding 1-character entities to 5-character strings, the count is off and it doesn't wrap correctly.MichaelMichael Winston *By e-mail!: michaelw@dhorse.com Senior Web Developer *By web!: http://www.dhorse.com/ Dark Horse Comics, Inc. *By fax!: 503/654/9440
