HTML code remove
Hello,

I have one file which has been inserted intermittently with HTML web page.
I would like to remove all text between "<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">" and </html> tags.
Can any one please suggest me sed regular expression for it.
Thanks

You could do

Code:
sed -n -e "s/\(.*\)\(<html xmlns=.http:..www.w3.org.1999.xhtml.>\).*\(<\/html\)/\1\2\3/p" $file

Try one of these:
Code:
sed '/<html /,/<\/html>/d' inputfile
 
sed '/<html xmlns="http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml/,/<\/html>/d' inputfile
