sed to extract HTML content

Hiya,

I am trying to extract a news article from a web page. The sed I have written brings back a lot of Javascript code and sometimes advertisments too. Can anyone please help with this one ??? I need to fix this sed so it picks up the article ONLY (don't worry about the title or date .. i got those using a separate sed) ..

The sed I am running is:

tr -d '\n' <03climate.html | sed -e 's/»//g' -e 's/.*nyt_text[^;]*;//' -e 's/<\/p>.*//g' -e 's/<[^>]*>//g' -e s'/[&][#]//g' -e 's/<[^>]*>//g' >> articletest

The file I am trying to extract from (03climate.html) and the result (articletest.txt) are both attached with this post .. Smilie

Thanks.
SG

NAME
rmnews - expunge and remove news articles SYNOPSIS
rmnews DESCRIPTION
Rmnews reads article data from the standard input. It then expunges and removes the listed articles. Rmnews is designed to be used by InterNetNews to remove canceled, superseded, and expired news articles. The input is processed as an INN expirerm file listing or an INN cancel stream written as a ``WC'' entry in the newsfeeds(5) file. This data consists of lines of text, each containing a list of relative article pathnames, with a single space between entries. If a listed file is contained in an IMAP news mailbox, it is expunged out of that mailbox. In any case, each listed file is unlinked. Rmnews reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file. The optional newsprefix option specifies a prefix to be prepended to newsgroup names to make the corresponding IMAP mailbox names. The required partition-news option specifies the pathname prefix to the IMAP news mailboxes. The value of partition-news concatenated with the dots-to-slashes-converted value of newsprefix must be the pathname of the news spool directory. FILES
