  • hi.. i wont to get wikipedia content to a Text file using any programing language with out containing HTML tags ,ect .. is there any wiki API to do that?

  • Answer:

    Mediawiki (the software that undergirds Wikipedia) does not convert the wiki mark-up from HTML to TXT very well at all. I'm afraid you are stuck in this situation, other than to just manually copy text and paste into a text editor.

You could just highlight the text you want and copy & paste it into a text editor, like Notepad. You'll still have to remove the occasional [1] and such, but that wasn't one of your requirements.

You can use this... http://www.autohotkey.com/ It's totally free. You can write a program in it to automate Firefox and have it save the text file. Or there are other ways to do it. They have a free help forum there if you need more info.
