Default Remove html markup

How do I remove HTML markup from and cell.

i.e.
<DIV class=productdesc <H3SCALLYWAGS CHANGING MAT. </H3<TABLE border=0
<TBODY <TR <TD <UL <LIFoam-filled <LIWipe-clean surface <LIFits most
dressers <LIdimensions: 75 x 46cm </LI</UL</TD</TR
<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:-

SCALLYWAGS CHANGING MAT. Foam-filled Wipe-clean surface Fits most dressers
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

Default Remove html markup

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?

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.

How many characters are in the cell? Is there something about the cell to
make Excel think it's a formula (plus sign, equal sign, etc)?

(Anybody else have thoughts about this?)


Does that help?

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?

Default Remove html markup

Since you're fixing a .csv file, maybe excel isn't the best choice.

If you visit shareware.com, you can find lots of programs to clean up HTML
files.

Not sure if I'm on the right track here with this suggestion ...

If the HTML is being copied from the web, copy if to Notepad first,
then copy from Notepad into Excel. Notepad will clean it up and get
rid of the HTML code.

The csv file is a database feed from our e-commerce site, so adding them one
by one to notepad to remove the html would take a long time.
