RE: [Dev-C++] HTML vs. Plain text

[Ioannis V. <no...@ho...>]

Honestly speaking, an engine swapping out html stuff doesn't sound
difficult. Simply you have an array of phrases to be removed (like
<HTML>) and check every word against it.


In a pseudocode C++ style:


vector<string>html;
string word;

// ...


do
{
 // read from file a word

 for(vector<string>::size_type i=0; i<html.size(); i++)
    if(word==html[i])
     {
      // replace word in file with ""
     }

}while(not eof);


This is my first thought. I guess we can optimise it more with binary
searching in html[] etc..

But i can't do it in ASP, or CGI etc yet. :)
