How far would awk '$1=$1' RS= ORS="\n\n" fileget you?

That's the clue we needed - the reason it doesn't work when you put the same command in a pipe chain.

It doesn't work simply because wget refuses to output to anything but a regular file. Pipes,...

That's not how fifo's work.

mkfifo /tmp/jobqueue

# Need to put this in the background, since it will wait until both
# ends of the fifo are open
( wget -q -r -l1 -O /tmp/jobqueue URL/ & )
...

Would using a fifo (as a regular file for -O) be an option?

According to the wget man page (https://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/1/wget/), old versions (before version 1.11) and new versions of wget (version 1.11.2 and later, although it may issue a warning in...

The pipe symbols in the extended regular expressions used in awk (and grep -E and some other utilities) separate alternatives. They don't have to be complete words. The line of code I suggested:...

No. In awk /^["hour"]/ will select any line starting with ", starting with h, starting with o, starting with u, or starting with r. What you want is something considerably more complex like:...

Hello p1ne,

rdrtx1's solution could be little modified(where removing the string concatination to line and directly printing it rather) to as follows may help you in same too.

awk '
/^[pfcdl]/...

You need to make sure that once a modification is done, it won't be subject to another one (e.g. by adapting the sequence of modifications). Try
sed 's/^[aeiou]/an &/; s/^[bghqrtwz]/a &/;...

awk '
/^[pfcdl]/ {$0="your " $0; print ; next}
/^[vjkmns]/ {$0="the " $0; print ; next}
/^[bghqrtwz]/ {$0="a " $0; print ; next}
/^[aeiou]/ {$0="an " $0; print ; next}

Can't test right now, but would this do:sed -n '/<th><a href/{s/^.*<th>//;s/<\/th>.*$//;s/<[^>]*>//gp}' file

Glad to help you p1ne. Could you please try following code and let us know if this helps.

sed -n '/^<th><a href="/s/\(.*">\)\(.*\)\(<\/a.*\)/\2/p' Input_file
Output will be as follows.

Hello p1ne,

Could you please try following and let me know if this helps you.

awk '($1 ~ /<th><a/){sub(/.*\">/,X,$0);sub(/<.*/,X,$0);print $0}' Input_file

Given those <th> tags are on a line by themselves (which would be required for your awk sample to work anyway),

sed -n '/^<th/s/<[^>]*>//gp' file

Hello p1ne,

Following explanation could help you in same.

#!/bin/awk -f
BEGIN{ #### Starting BEGIN section of awk here.

The for construct is used to iterate through a list or repeatedly evaluate an expression. Using it for one single value is at least, hmmm, questionable, as the loop variable is set to exactly that...

Yes, split($0, %, ".") creates an array named T with each element of T[] containing the text between periods in the input line. If you'd like to get rid of leading whitespace characters at the start...

Given that the input is one single line of text, try

{N = split ($0, T, ".")
CNT = 1
while (CNT <= N) {RND = int(5*(1+rand()))
