Help with sed-script
Hi!

I really need some help and feedback with my sed-script below.

I want to find all HTML files and then remove everything before <body> and everything after </body>, including both tags. When the SED is done it should save the new content to a new file with the name "index.html_nobody" (just add "_nobody" to the filename).

The problem I got is "Syntax error: newline unexpected".

Theres a simple HTML page:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<img src="w3schools.jpg" alt="W3Schools.com" width="104" height="142">

</body>
</html>

The script should return only this line:
Code:
<img src="w3schools.jpg" alt="W3Schools.com" width="104" height="142">

Here's my script so far:

Code:
path="$1"

#!/bin/bash

find "$1" -type f -name "*.html" -o -name "*.htm" | while read -r filename; do
     echo -e "\nFound:\n""$files\n"

        if [ -e "$1" ]
then
                echo "Editing files"
                exec sh -c "$filename" | sed '0,/<body/ { /<body/! d ; /<body/ s/.*<body[^>]*>// } ; \|</body|,$ { \|</body|! d ; \|</body| s|</body.*|| }' ; > "{}_nobody"

else
        echo "File not found."
fi
done

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a    Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
