Re: Yahoo! Groups: Welcome to sed-users. Visit today!

Hi community!
I subscribed to sed group because I need to do some parsing of txt files
with html.
I am totally new to sed, I 've just discovered it yesterday!!
I tried something (strip all html tag) and I succeed, but I need something
more complex and I cannot dig it - could you please help with the syntax?

I need to extract URL contained in <a> tags, only the part like /RED/BLUE/
, and to strip out every other tag, so that I have clean text and only
THOSE urls.

I made this attempt:

txt structure:

> </b> (Displaying X Results)<table><tr> <td valign="top"><a
> href="/RED/BLUE/" onClick="(new Image()).src='/url/';"><img src="image.jpg"
> width="30" height="30" border="0"></a>&nbsp;</td><td align="right"
> valign="top"><img src="/images/c.gif" width="1" height="6"><br>1.</td><td
> valign="top"><img src="/images/c.gif" width="1" height="6"><br><a
> href="/RED/BLUE/" onclick="(new Image()).src='url/';">TEXT TO EXTRACT</a>
> TEXT TO EXTRACT                 <p class="find-alike">alike "OTHER TEXT TO
> EXTRACT" - BLABLA <em>(blabla)</em></p>       <p class="find-alike">alike
> "OTHER TEXT TO EXTRACT" - BALABLA</p>   </td></tr><tr> <td
> valign="top"><img src="/images/b.gif" alt="" width="23" height="1"></td><td
> align="right" valign="top">2.</td><td valign="top"><a href="/RED/BLUE/"
> onclick="(new Image()).src='url/';">TEXT TO EXTRACT</a> TEXT TO EXTRACT
>               </td></tr>
>

command:
sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//b'

it works, but strip out all tags.

I've tried to customize it, but nothing happened:
sed -e '/RED/!d;'

I also tried some script on the web but I cannot make them work...
I even new in using Unix :)
I am working with macbook sed based.


Could you please help out in this task?
Thank you!
Luigi
