Is there a way to strip html codes out of the way when using http::geturl?

Not using http::geturl, there isn't a way to strip html codes..
But after you have retrieved the contents of the page, you can
use tcl commands like regsub to do the job for you.

For starters,
ie: regsub -all {<[^>]*>} $data {} data

Another alternative is to utilize Lynx to filter out the html and format the page. Not recommended for high-use web scripts though.

Lynx uses ncurses from what I understand. This would make a mess of the input received or even simply not work.

The regsub method is far quicker.
