text html text plain,java - how to convert HTML text to plain text? - Stack Overflow

If you want to parse like browser display, use:

import net.htmlparser.jericho.*;

import java.util.*;

import java.io.*;

import java.net.*;

public class RenderToText {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

String sourceUrlString="data/test.html";

if (args.length==0)

System.err.println("Using default argument of \""+sourceUrlString+'"');

else

sourceUrlString=args[0];

if (sourceUrlString.indexOf(':')==-1) sourceUrlString="file:"+sourceUrlString;

Source source=new Source(new URL(sourceUrlString));

String renderedText=source.getRenderer().toString();

System.out.println("\nSimple rendering of the HTML document:\n");

System.out.println(renderedText);

}

}

I hope this will help to parse table also in the browser format.

Thanks,
