Hi All,
Please help
how to convert html text to plain text.
Thanks
Hi Vishal,
There are quite a few conversion cmdlets but the variation in the structure of HTML doesn’t allow this to be converted so eaily.
CommandType Name ----------- ---- Function ConvertFrom-SddlString Cmdlet ConvertFrom-Csv Cmdlet ConvertFrom-Json Cmdlet ConvertFrom-SecureString Cmdlet ConvertFrom-String Cmdlet ConvertFrom-StringData Cmdlet Convert-Path Cmdlet Convert-String Cmdlet ConvertTo-Csv Cmdlet ConvertTo-Html Cmdlet ConvertTo-Json Cmdlet ConvertTo-SecureString Cmdlet ConvertTo-TpmOwnerAuth Cmdlet ConvertTo-Xml
You can scrape the HTML from web sites and then parse it for what you need.
$web = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'http://www.powershell.org' # Have a look at what comes back then pick out what you want. $web.Content
To extract content for powershell.org you could focus on anchor tags which begin with ‘a’
$text = ($web.ParsedHtml.getElementsByTagName('a') | Where{$_.className -eq 'bbp-forum-title'}).innerText
$text

One last pointer, the protocol for using tags is to use the topics on which your question is based on rather than adding our PowerShell heroes names.
