sed newline
Hi everyone,

I'd like to use the script validatehtml which returns either the given url is HTML strict or not, using http:// validator . w3 . org .

sh validatehtml
Code:
#!/bin/bash
wget -q http:// validator . w3 .org / check?uri=$1
cat check\?uri\=$1 | sed -n '/h2/ p' | sed 's/  */ /g' | sed 's/^ //g' | sed 's/\n//' | sed 's/\(<.*>\)*\(.*\)\(<.*>\)*/\2/g'

But he doesn't want to remove the newline. Can somebody help me? The sed procedures need to be in this order because the message proceeded by h2 is sometimes only 1 line, not two.
Code:
sh genscript http:// www . w3c . org   :2 lines
sh genscript http:// www . google. com   :1 line

thanks guys!

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool.  It was prompted
       by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), sed(1).
