Get text from website.

[IYIaster]

I'm trying to get the text from a website. This does give me information from the website. But, it returns all of the HTML. I am looking for a way just to get the plain text off of the website. Anyone know of a way to do this?

        BufferedReader in = null;
        String getid = null;
        try {
            URL yahoo;
            yahoo = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com");
            in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(yahoo.openStream()));
            String inputLine;


            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {

                 System.out.println(inputLine);
                }
            }
            in.close();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(NewJFrame.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

But what else are you expecting to find on a website?

Are you looking to parse the HTML? If so, then perhaps your best bet is to Google for a decent Java HTML parser.

Buena suerte.
