Remove html tags with particular string inside the tags
Could someone, please provide a solution to the following:

I would like to remove some tags from the "head" of multiple html documents across the web site. They look like

Code:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
    title="Business and Investment in the Philippines" href="http://mydomain.com/rss/business.rss">

or
Code:
<link rel="alternate" type="text/x-opml"
    title="OPML all News needs from mydomain.com" href="http://mydomain.com/rss/god.opml">

The two strings that present all the time are

Code:
<link rel="alternate" type="text/x-opml"

and
Code:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"

The rest of the text within <link ...> may vary. My goal is to remove all <link> tags containing the two strings above.

any help is greatly appreciated.

Assuming that your 'link' tag is in two lines
Code:
awk '
/^<link rel="alternate" type="application\/rss\+xml"/ || /^<link rel="alternate" type="text\/x-opml"/ {
        getline
        next
}
{
        print
}' something.html
