Hi,
I've been looking around a bit for a solution on how to automate cleaning variable labels.
In particular, removing HTML tags. I know there's a way to clean up tags with 
Python library BeautifulSoup and R package rvest . But is there a tool within SPSS itself?
I don't mind where labels will be cleaned up, in the data itself or in the tables output.
Concerning tables output, is MODIFY OUTPUT an option or MODIFY TABLES?
Anyone who has experience with this kind of manipulations?

Thank you!

Tal

Attached is a short begin program block of code that cleans html tags out of the variable labels.

It's less than 10 lines of code, but it is an attachment in order to preserve the formatting.
