Full Discussion: Running sed from a script query
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Running sed from a script query Post 302837249 by Corona688 on Thursday 25th of July 2013 11:59:41 AM

1) Your first line is missing a command to do. 'for all lines between <body> and </body>" -- do something, but "something" is missing. /<body>/,/<\/body>/ p is more complete, p to print.

2) It probably won't work. It will match all lines between <body> and </body>, including parts of the line before and after these tags. If the HTML is one giant line it will print everything.

You can do similar things in awk, but you get to tell it what a 'line' is, which is useful for matching one tag per 'line'.

This will match tags more properly, and also split each tag onto a line:

Code:
awk -v RS="<" '/^[bB][oO][dD][yY]/,/^\/[bB][oO][dD][yY]/ { $1="<"$1 ; print }' file.html
