Edit lines in file preserving part of it
Hello:
I have the following HTML table:
Code:
<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Code</th>
            <th>Percentage</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>1</td>
            <td>30%</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>2</td>
            <td>70%</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
 </table>

I would like to add a button with an event to every <td> element with a code, like the following:
Code:
<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Code</th>
            <th>Percentage</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td><button onclick="reset(1)">Reset</button>1</td>
            <td>30%</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><button onclick="reset(2)"></button>2</td>
            <td>70%</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
 </table>

Note that I'm not asking how to parse the HTML. Instead, I would like to know how to replace every \t\t\t<td>x</td> line by \t\t\t<td><button onclick="reset(x)">x</button></td>, where x is the code number.

I need to do it with a command-line text editor without input from the user, because I have many files like this one and my idea is to edit all of them using find with the -exec option.

This would be a simple task with ex or ed if I just had to replace the same concurrence. But in this case, I need to keep the code in every replacement. That's what I'm struggling with. I'm afraid I'll need advanced tools like awk and I honestly don't know how to do it.

How can I add the button with the event to the table cells?
Thanks in advance.
