However those are rather simple to make and remove from the output. Another way is using wget for example to download a file from a website without the hassle of scripting it in mIRC. If the file you get from the web server is a regular text file you have what you wanted, if it's html you'll have to parse it yourself to remove all <tag> stuff. You can also search google for something like 'remove html formatting'. One program i found (http://www.protonfx.com/) should remove all html tags in a file, it has commandline so you can /run it. (i haven't written or tested this program, but it seems to do what you want)
