To Break data out of HTML
I'm working with the output of an html form and trying to get it into CSV. The html is a table with many entries like the following.
HTML Code:
<tr><td nowrap><b><font size=3>NAME</font></b></td><td nowrap><b>License # : </b> LICENSE</td></tr> <tr><td><b>City : </b> CITY<td nowrap><b>Type : </b> TYPE</td></tr> <tr><td><b>State :</b> ST<td nowrap><b>Status : </b> STATUS</td></tr> <tr><td><b>Phone :</b> PHONE<td nowrap><b>Expires: </b> EXPIRES</td></tr><td></td> <td nowrap><b>Nat. Registry: </b>Y/N</td></tr><tr><td> <tr><td colspan=2><hr width='100%'></td></tr> Code:
NAME, LICENSE, CITY, TYPE, ST, STATUS, PHONE, EXPIRES, Y/N Code:
cat appr-test | sed 's_<tr><td nowrap><b><font size=3>\(.*\)</font>_\1'_ |

If you really want a "best way", that would be a proper HTML parser.
Assuming you wish to stay with something lighter, like sed or awk, perhaps you can elaborate on what is wrong with the sed you have tried so far. (The <font> tag in your example script does not occur in the HTML sample you posted, but I guess that's beside the point here.) |
