Anything like INetGetSource() that will return text and not html?

[stevey]

I was needing to get the text of a website through a program of mine. The HTML code makes my string searches a lot harder and if I could get the text instead it would simplify my code. I have tried a method (the 2nd code posted), but it runs a IE window in the background and takes a lot longer. I had to add the sleeps in there because it wanted to return an error sometimes. the _INetGetSource() seems really fast, but like I said I would like to return text instead. Do I have any other options? Thanks in advance.

$s_Text = _INetGetSource("http://www.autoitscript.com")

$o_object = ObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application")
If IsObj($o_object) Then
$o_object.visible = 0
$o_object.navigate("http://www.autoitscript.com")
While $o_object.busy
Sleep(250)
WEnd
Sleep(500)
$s_Text = $o_object.document.body.innerText
$o_object.quit()
EndIf

Try _InetReadBodyText()

Just make sure you add this at the top of your script:

#include <IfWishesWereDoughnutsIdWeighFiveHundredPounds.au3>

If that doesn't work, you could take a look at _IEBodyReadText() (still requires IE of course).
