Is there a way to convert html to plain text with vbscript?

[Antony]

I'm looking for a way that a user can enter a url in a text box and
then click a button which will run a convert function. This convert
function will convert the requested web page to plain text and then
populate a textarea with the converted data.

I know that I can save a web page in Internet Explorer as a text file,
but I'm trying to write an enhancement to an ASP Document Management
System and so need to be able to do this in code on a page in the
system.

Is this possible with VBScript?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
