Maybe this throws you too deep in sed but for scripting sed/awk is indispensable IMHO.

Code:
sed 's/.*">\(.*\)<.*/\1/'

It's an ordinary sed substitute command in this form: sed 's/remove this/with this/'

With sed you can save substrings with \(.*\) and recall them back with \1, \2, \3 etc.

The command isolates the piece after "> and before the last < in the substring \(.*\) and recalls it back with \1.


Regards
