condense multiple steps
Can I do multiple passes in one step?
Code:
sed    's/<FONT face='\''Arial'\'' size='\''3'\''>//'  $file > tmpfile.html ; mv tmpfile.html $file
sed    's/<FONT face='\''Courier'\'' size='\''3'\''>//'  $file > tmpfile.html ; mv tmpfile.html $file
sed    's/<\/FONT>//'    $file > tmpfile.html ; mv tmpfile.html $file
sed    's/<table border=0>/<table border=1 width=95%>/'              $file > tmpfile.html ; mv tmpfile.html $file

I tried:
Code:
sed    's/<FONT face='\''Arial'\'' size='\''3'\''>//'        \
sed    's/<FONT face='\''Courier'\'' size='\''3'\''>//'     \
sed    's/<\/FONT>//'                                                \
sed    's/<table border=0>/<table border=1 width=95%>/'              $file > tmpfile.html ; mv tmpfile.html $file

but that wasn't correct. Should I pipe them ?

You can use -e
Code:
sed -e 's/pattern1//' -e 's/pattern2//' file
