Really you just want to remove the bits where it's reading from the file -
all the "open for access", "close access" stuff. That would be the
"learning" method.
Alternatively, and much easier, would be to download Tex-Edit Plus, which
comes with some splendid scripts, including a very good one for removing
HTML. Google knows where it lives. This would be the quick method, though
by comparing the two scripts you might get some ideas of how to alter
read_parse.
