Select all, copy and paste.

Copy and paste. IOW, I don't understand your request. ;)

There are programs that can convert HTML files into text files. See
these subcategories (they're grouped together on the web page):
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_TEXT.php#2.03Convert:HTMLToFormattedText
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_TEXT.php#2.03Convert:HTMLToTextAndTables
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_TEXT.php#2.03Convert:HTMLToText

If that's not the type of text extraction you're looking for, please advise.
