Code:

sed -n '/^$/!{s/<[^>]*>//g;p;}' filename

Or, with a bit different output:

Code:

lynx --dump filename

(the file must have htm[l] extension)

Or use html2text

All the commands are doing good,

sed -n '/^$/!{s/<[^>]*>//g;p;}' filename

Please explain the above sed command

Thanks,
Thangaraju.
