Code:
echo "<a href=\"/listing/bone-densitometer/osteosys/dexxum-t/2299556\"> view more </a>" | grep '.*href="[^"]*"> view more.*$' | grep -o '"[^"]*"' | grep -o '[^"]*'

Hey RudiC!

Nice to read you again! I hope you're doing great.
OK then, gotcha! Obviously, I'm not so much trying to force the use of grep rather than understand the limitations between the 3 commands (grep | sed | awk).

I'm starting to understand how sed works however I'm still looking at baby versions of what you guys can do!
It might seem trivial to you but it's kind of a "bitchy" command Smilie. The syntax is not (in my opinion) easy to get at all... Smilie I'm actually kind of struggling on this one a little SmilieSmilieSmilie.

Let me see what I can get and do from there and I'll come back to you soon with an improved version of this damn script! SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie

Thanks again!
