Help with C++ programing

Hi there,
I gotta write a code that do the following: remove html tags . Basically I gotta turn a .html document in a .txt .

eg: Turn:
<html>
<h1>The Dandy Warhols Discography</h1>
<\html>

In:
The Dandy Warhols Discography .

How do I do that. Dont worry with file manipulation, just wanna know how to
remove those tags.

Thanks in advance,

Unax

Hmm, just for thinking about it for a few seconds, what i would do is:

-open the .html file and the .txt file
-upon reading a '<' i would push that onto a stack
i would then use cin.ignore() to ignore all characters while ins.peek()!='>'
-when the loop is broken, i would ignore the '>' and pop the '<'
-any other text would be streamed into the text file

Like I said, that's what I came up with after thinking about it for a few seconds. You can choose any other method to handle < and >, but if you were so inclined to check, you could verify the html file was formatted properly by checking whether or not the stack is empty. Hope it helps.

I second what BlackOmen stated.

However, rather than just stacking,
Parse for the right caret >.
Dump any/all character (s) after that point to your output until you detect the left caret <.
then repeat the sequence.
