Hi, I am currently working on a Bash shell script that
- Downloads a webpage, in this case youtube.com
- Extracts Number of views, Extracts Title of video, Extracts User who made it, and lastly Duration. Then I have to Out put this into columns.

To me this sounds like crazyness. I'm very new to bash and even using grep/cut commands So far this is all I got. I decided to pass all my commands to variables to try and make a table then output but its very messy. What I am trying to do is

make tables for

Views | Title | User | Time

0000 blah me 0:10

etc but I have no idea how to cut out information from the html and organize it.

Code:

#! /bin/bash

wget -O Link.html youtube.com

echo [Views]            [User]          

x=$(grep views Link.html | grep -v 'div' | cut -d ' ' -f5 | sort -n | tr -d ',')
y=$(grep title Link.html | grep -v 'div' | grep -v span |cut -d '>' -f1 | grep -v class | grep -v '<')


IFS="'echo'"
for line in $x
        do
                echo $line
        done

#echo $y
~                                                                                         
~                                                                                         
~                                                                                         
~

Its probably really messy but I'm lost on how to extract the correct titles which are usually in the " " ex. title="Harlem Shake (Matt and Kim Edition)"

Also I have no idea how to organize or sort it so it matches the correct amount of views. I'm not looking for the answer I'm looking for the solution. So I can do the same for the other parts of this sh myself.

Once again I am very new to this stuff lol.

The best can get are the views to show up organized. The titles are all over the place.
