MySQL Read html and get specific value
Hello guys Smilie

I have a specific small html file which looks like this:
Code:
<td><a href="/wiki/File:ABC_red_le_route.jpg" class="image" title="Chicago 'L' 2600 series train"><img alt="Chicago 'L' 2600 series train" src="example.com/random_image.com" width="550" height="255" /></a></td>

I want to take the text in bold above using sed or something (of course what's in there does change through time and so the command should actually read from the 1st match of ' " ' to the second match of it. Can you help me on this?

Thanks!

See if this works for you:
Code:
sed 's/.*"\(.*\)" class.*/\1/' File

Oh, and as it has to do with the same thing, can you help me with this as well?
The file contains:
Code:
<li><a href="#globalusage">Global file usage</a></li></ul><div class="fullImageLink" id="file"><a href="//abc.com/abc.jpg"><img alt="File:ABC.jpg" src="//abc.abc.com/abc.png" width="800" height="371" /></a><br /><small>Size of this preview: <a href="//abc.abc.com/abceefed.png" class="mw-thumbnail-link">800 × 371 pixels</a>.</small> <small>Other resolutions: <a href="//abc.abc.com/abdddc.png" class="mw-thumbnail-link">320 × 149 pixels</a>*| <a href="//abc.abcd.com/asdfbc.png" class="mw-thumbnail-link">640 × 297 pixels</a>*| <a href="//abc.dfrre/ghtmd.jpg" class="mw-thumbnail-link">1,024 × 475 pixels</a>*| <a href="//abc.abc.com/abdec.png" class="mw-thumbnail-link">1,280 × 594 pixels</a>.</small></div>

The desired output is being highlighted!

Thanks again Smilie

Try this...
Code:
awk -F"[=\"]" '{print $12}' infile

#or

sed 's/.*href="\(.*jpg\)">.*/\1/1' f
