Even the 2nd Sed solution in post 6 gives the result as you mentioned above..?

This then?
Code:
sed -n "/1st/{s/.*1st'>//;s/<\/textarea>.*//p;}" infile

Code:
sed -n '/1st/{s/<[^>]*>//gp;}' infile

yes all sed's from post 5th and 6th return the same string
Code:
abc123def678TextText

Code:
 sed -n "/1st/{s/.*1st'>//;s/<\/textarea>.*//p;}" infile

this one does the trick and returns content of 1st textarea correctly, Thanks! Smilie

Code:
 sed -n '/1st/{s/<[^>]*>//gp;}' infile

this one returns all content from in between html brackets, just like sed's in 5th and 6th post
