REBOL seems ideally suited for such scripting tasks. For example, the page (http://www.rebol.com/oneliners.html) lists a number of one liners that show the potential. Here is a oneliner (#6 from the oneliners.html) to Save web page text to a file: remove-each tag page: load/markup http://www.rebol.com [tag? tag] write %page.txt page REBOL is cross platform and is under 1MB. Having support for REBOL in Babel may be useful. Disclaimer: I have no connection to REBOL's development. I have used it as a portable solution for producing HTML documentation from plain text (Makedoc - http://www.rebol.net/docs/makedoc/fastmd.html). - Srinivas
