	#strip out html baggage
$ textutil -convert txt LongFile.html

By default textutil will write a file "LongFile.txt". If you want to stream the
answer then
$ textutil -convert txt -stdout LongFile.html

If you want to use it in a pipe setting then you need to state "stdin"
$ .... | textutil -convert txt -stdin -stdout  


$ textutil -info file(s)	#information on the file

$ textutil -cat -convert txt *.html  #convert to txt and concatenate

to convert pdf to txt use "ps2ascii"

Batch execution
$ for i in $(ls *.doc);do textutil -convert txt $i;done
$ find . -name *.doc -exec textutil -convert txt '{}' \;
