如何在终端解析html文本文件？

Question

I have a text file that even after removing all the html tags still contains some html codes of apostrophes and other punctuations example :

  It's  // It's 

my question is how to change all of them?

and I'm using a bash script under linux to get the html file

Answer 1

Alternatively, if you got lynx use it as:

lynx -stdin -dump < file.html

The above will remove the HTML tags too, for example from this file.html

<i>It&#039;s</i>
&lt;<b>&amp;</b>&#62;

prints

   It's <&>

Answer 2

Using Python:

$ echo 'It's' | python -c 'import xmllib,sys; print(xmllib.XMLParser().translate_references(sys.stdin.read()))'
It's

Using Perl:

$ echo 'It's' | perl -MHTML::Entities -pe 'decode_entities($_);'
It's
