Stripping out MS Word Formatting

#1 (**permalink**) 02-28-2008, 10:04 AM

Hi Folks,

I've just received a dump from a MYSQL db that has lots of data that's
been cut & paste from MS Word. The data is messing with my PHP program
bigtime.

Does anyone know any software/routines that can strip out MS Word
control characters so that I can clean up my data?

Thanks in advance,

Andy K
