Rick, thanks
that works well, the other item I need to grab is 'Duration', which can be
2 or 3 digits as below;
is there a way to have egrep get such 2 or 3 digits ?

<tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Duration: </td><td colspan="1"
rowspan="1">60</td></tr>
or
...<td colspan="1" rowspan="1">120</td>...
