Remove html tags with bash
Hello,
is there a way to go through a file and remove certain html tags with bash? If it needs sed or awk, that'll do too. The reason why I want this is, because I have a monitor script which generates a logfile in HTML and every time it generates a logfile, the tags are reproduced. The tags I want removed are </body> and </html> and are the last two lines in the HTML file. I found similar topics, but none of them do what I need. delete to end of line with SED Thanks in advance for the help. |

Try this:
Code:
awk '/<\/body>/ || /<\/html>/{next}1' file

It kinda works, but somehow I have to forward the output to a new file.
Code:
awk '/<\/body>/ || /<\/html>/{next}1' file.html > file2.html
When I use: Code:
awk '/<\/body>/ || /<\/html>/{next}1' file.html > file.html
All the code before the </body> and </html> tags should remain in the file. Thanks |

You can't redirect the output to the inputfile. Redirect the output to a temporary file and move it to the original file, something like this:
Code:
awk '/<\/body>/ || /<\/html>/{next}1' file.html > file1.html
mv file1.html file.html
