...many, many good suggestions here - surprised you even had to ask. I do have a question though - why fuck are you copying tens of thousands of words from a web site? I mean generally speaking (and having been at the game for just a little while) it is unusual that this amount of text is only available on a web site - there's no original file floating around? Talked to you client?

I seriously need an app to do this? Unbelievable.
- I cant get this $3,000 machine to give me clean text without dl-ing an app. That's cute.CygnusZero4

I think CygnusZero4 just likes to hate on macs, even though he uses one.

You do seem to have some pretty tough times with macs. That formatting would cause a problem if you copy / pasted it on a pc too, and printing it from a browser would most likely give you the same results on a pc as well.
- Except if you paste it into a plain text document on the PC, it gets rid of all formatting, which is what it should do.CygnusZero4
- Plain text document doesnt mean plain text on the mac. Still has formatting which makes no sense.CygnusZero4
- Plain text would still carry over linebreaks, no?brains
- It does, but its very easy to remove them all, not on the mac though.CygnusZero4

Get a PC.
Oh, and this thread is hilarious. I don't see how this would be so difficult. There are many ways to do what you're trying to do and it sounds like simple reformatting in Word would fix the "line break" problem. It doesn't really sound like a Mac/PC problem at all.

I cant believe I have to pay $40 to do this. Fuck this machine ill throw this text on a thumb drive and do it on the PC where its fucking easy, which is how something like this should be.

Perhaps the problem lies between the chair and the keyboard.
- Clever dickmouth, but you offered no solutions.CygnusZero4
- True, true, but I think you were giving up because you didn't know, not because it's not possible, or easy.brains

I think the root of your Mac problems can be found in a bad DFU.
