Stripping HTML tags from document with grep...



 Hi, 

 I have the task of making sure a file got updated each day (an html file). 
The Contents shown below: (when opened in a web browser) 

Performance Summary 
Updated 4/4/2008 10:37:08 AM 
Data as of 4/4/2008 10:36:20 AM 

when I grep for Updated in this file.. ( grep 'Updated' 
./DMK_MTD_Performance.htm) I get the whole line,  html code and all. 

Can someone suggest a way to strip the html part and give me the lines as 
displayed above? Is grep the way to go, or should I be looking at another 
tool? 
Ultimately I want to take the text above and email it to mymyself, instead 
of having to remember to look at this file each day..... 

thanks for the help...
