scott ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alan German <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Apr 17, 2006 10:48 AM Subject: SED (or other) command help To: Scott Granneman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Scott, Given a file, similar to <html> <head> stuff </head> <body> <pre> content of interest </pre> </body> </html> I'd like a command line to rewrite that file, keeping the <pre></pre> tag pair and the content inbetween, so that the result looks like: <pre> content of interest </pre> Note that the content of interest will span multiple lines. I'd like the output to completely replace the input file. I've fooled around unsuccesfully a few minutes here with sed, but am not getting anywhere quick. Here's a posix regex that should match the <pre> tag pair and contained text: /<pre>(?s).*<\/pre>/ What's a good way to do this? Any help appreciated. TIA. Alan -- R.
