Default Remove html markup

Hi Ron

Thanks for your help so far. Much appreciated. Just hope someone has already
done this like you said. Fingers crossed.

Thanks again

Regards

Stuart

Yikes! I just checked the file.
Each of those cells has many thousands of characters.....evidently, too many
for Find/Replace to handle.

I'm going to hope that somebody has already programmed a solution, because
so far, I haven't come up with any tricks that have worked.

OK...more information is good....but...

How about:
Q: Are all 2500 products in one sheet?
If yes, you don't have to Edit/Replace one at a time; you can click the
[Replace all] button. Did you do that?

Q: Are they all in one workbook?
If yes, group the sheets together (Select the first sheet, hold down the
[Shift] key, then select the last sheet). Then, do the same Edit/Replace as
above.

Q: Multiple workbooks?
How many workbooks? If only a few, then use the above technique on each.
If many...well...let's see if we need to cross that bridge.

Does that help?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have over 2500 products to do so that would take some finding and
replacing. Is there no formula or script that I can use to do this
automatically.

I think this will get you most of the way the
EditReplace:
Find What: <*
Replace with: (this should be blank)
Click the [Replace] button until you're sure it's doing what you want. Then,
click the [Replace All] button.

That will leave some extraneous spaces, so do another Find/Replace for
double spaces and, again, replace them with nothing.

Does that help?

<TR</TR</TBODY</TABLE <UL <LIWhen using a changing mat on a dresser or
other raised surface, never leave your baby unattended even for a moment
</LI</UL</P</DIV

I want it to read:-

dimensions: 75 x 46cm When using a changing mat on a dresser or other
raised surface, never leave your baby unattended even for a moment

I am trying to change out website csv file into a froogle csv file but
without the HTML

Thanks in advance
