I tried this:

cat test.txt | awk ' NR == 1 || NR == 9 {print }'   # 1 and 9 are the column

 <td>231.7 kb/s (9.7%)</td>
 <td>16.8 kb/s (0.7%) </td>

It works. The limitation here is how to get rid of <td> and show only 231.7 
kb/s and 16.8 kb/s?
If only there is a space after the > , there could be no problem since awk/cut 
can remove this but since not all has no space, is there another way to remove 
them?
