Is there a free notepad equivalent on a mac that will unformat text?

Hi All
Is there a free windows notepad equivalent on a mac that will unformat text?
I dont like TextEdit as it keeps all formatting hyperlinks etc. I need to be able to copy text from a website, paste it into a program, which will then strip everything out of it apart from the actual text, and then copy it back from said program.
I know you can do something similar in TextEdit by saving it a certain way, but I dont want to have to go through the process of having to save the file.
Can anyone help?

Thanks
Shippo

TextEdit will do that. Just select Format > Make Plain Text

Use the format menu to turn the current document in Text Edit to plain text. Or change the application preferences to make that the default.

vim, nano, emacs ...

Textwrangler?

Change the application preferences to make PLAIN TEXT the default.

FANTASTIC! Thats the solution.
