File Format Converters
Many software tools for data analysis require specific formatting for processing source files. On this page you will find a number of tools, with which you can convert the format of multiple files at the same time. 
HTML to TXT Conversion
Frequently, software processing textual data cannot directly handle HTML-files, which are the most common files found on the web. Below programs batch convert HTML into plain Text. To get an idea about the capabilities of these prgrams, you can get the plain-text-version of the current HTML page, as created by the different programs by clicking on the "Conversion Result"-links.

	  »  Web2Text
	Web2Text is a bare bones program, with which you can batch convert HTML files into TXT.

	  »  Detagger
	Detagger contains a few more options than Web2Text, but these options do not enhance the conversion process significantly. Hence, we do not recommend its purchase (currently US-$ 20).

	  »  HTMLtoTXT
If you do not require paragraph marks in HTML to be reproduced in the ASCII file, try HTMLtoTXT.

	  »  NoteTab
NoteTab is not a stand-alone detagger, but a full fledged ASCII/HTML-Editor. The shareware fee of US-$ 19.95 will yield a quick payback, as it most effectively transforms HTML into plain text.
