How to extract text from HTML file in JavaScript?

How do I extract text from a HTML page?

This is a general question. I have a simple HTML page, a text file, and a list of words. What is the most efficient way to determine if any of the words in the list exist in the html page? The words can be in any order and may or may not be on the same line.

Thanks for the advice. I've tried that, but no luck. It's like some text is getting cut off before the end of the table or something. So I'm wondering if there is a better way.

Here is the relevant code: Code: namespace TextTest Console.Read(); } } } } And here is the html page:

Name	Count
The Cat in the Hat	20
The Very Hungry Caterpillar	5
Green Eggs and Ham	12
Dog Days	3

. And the output I get is: Listing all words in list.txt that are in the html page.The Cat in the Hat 20The Very Hungry Caterpillar 5Green Eggs and Ham 12Dog Days 3
My apologies. When I said "cut off," I meant that only the first four characters of "Cat in the Hat" were shown.

How to extract text from HTML file in JavaScript?

Thanks! You can use the document.querySelector function and query the content property of the node to get the text.

Var allText = document.querySelector("body").

How to convert HTML content to string in JavaScript?

I need to extract the content of HTML tags into string using JavaScript.

I am able to extract the string, but not the content of tags. Here is my code: document.body.innerHTML;
It's a bit unclear what you mean by "content of tags" but this will do it for you. Var result = document.innerHTML; console.log(result); This outputs: Hello. You can further manipulate the string by calling its properties/methods as documented here. For example, you can print it out as HTML or run regex searches against it.

You can use innerHTML of the body element.
