Better to use html Parser....I prefer to use JSoup parser(opensource package)....

import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
public class HTMLUtils {

    public static String extractText(Reader reader) throws IOException {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(reader);
        String line;
        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
            sb.append(line);
        }
        String textOnly = Jsoup.parse(sb.toString()).text();
        return textOnly;
    }

    public final static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        FileReader reader = new FileReader("C:/RealHowTo/topics/java-language.html");
        System.out.println(HTMLUtils.extractText(reader));
    }
}

I have used a library called JSoup.
It's very simple to retrieve the text-only part from a HTML file.
It's very simple:

Jsoup.parse(html).text();

gives you the text from the HTML file
