In principle you are right. The following script will extract everything between a "<tr>" and "</tr>" tag. It will assume that there are no multiple "<tr>-</tr>"-pairs on a single line and the tags themselves are all lowercase (no "<TR>").

The result might not be what you need, though, so you might consider giving us a sample of what you have and what you will need to get from it. This would help us to help you better.

Code:
sed 's/.*<tr>//;s/<\/tr>.*//' /path/to/your/file

I hope this helps.

NAME

       nlist_ia: nlist, nlist64 - structure formats for Integrity systems

SYNOPSIS

   Remarks
       The exact content of the structure defined below can be best found by examining It varies somewhat between various HP-UX implementations.

       This manpage describes on Integrity systems.  For on PA-RISC systems, see nlist_pa(4).

DESCRIPTION

       and can be used to extract information from the symbol table in an object file (see nlist(3C)).	They are basically the same tool, and both
       can process SOM and Elf files.  Since symbol tables are machine dependent (as defined in each implementation's copy of a  header  file,	is
       defined to encapsulate the differences.

       The  nlist  function, either or when used with the corresponding nlist structure, can be used to extract certain information about selected
       symbols in the symbol table.  The data associated with each symbol is machine specific, thus only the name and position of the field in the
       function  is  standardized by HP-UX.  The rest of the structure includes at least the value and type of the symbol.  The names and meanings
       of all fields not standardized will change no more than necessary.

       The structure is the same as the structure and is used for source compatibility purposes.
