sed delete pattern with special characters
Hi all,
I have the following lines
<b>A gtwrhwrthwr text hghthwrhtwrtw </b><font color='#06C'>; text text (text)
<b>B gtwrhwrthwr text hghthwrhtwrtw </b><font color='#06C'>; text text (text)
<b>J gtwrhwrthwr text hghthwrhtwrtw </b><font color='#06C'>; text text (text)
and I would like to get
A gtwrhwrthwr text hghthwrhtwrtw ; text text (text)
B gtwrhwrthwr text hghthwrhtwrtw ; text text (text)
J gtwrhwrthwr text hghthwrhtwrtw ; text text (text)
I'd like to get the <b> in the front and all this </b><font color='#06C'> deleted.
Thanks
