Ok, Thanks Dan

I have used your suggestion of the Lynx -force _ html - dump - anonymous
tempfile.htm routine and it works fine ..except I have omitted the del
tempfile.htm command line. The resulting file now allows me to edit out all
non table data in a QB program and re-write the file with table data only.

Thanks for all your help

regards.. Don

If you can find Windows versions of lynx or w3m, then it should be as simple
as:

curl -o tempfile.htm http://URL
lynx -force_html -dump -anonymous tempfile.htm
del tempfile.htm

or with w3m:

curl http://URL | w3m -dump -T text/html -o frame=0 -o meta_refresh=0 -o
auto_image=0
