Grep - help

[Mooblar]

Hi, I'm building my own "Sms service" I've already configured my sms gateway, So my idea is that I wanna be able to send a sms to my gateway which then runs a script that will wget a a site (Where my teachers write what homework I should do etc), now this is where my problems is, I've found out the tags around the message like this eg. <tag>Homework</tag>. Now I want grep (or awk sed etc) to sort out the variable(homework).

So if i do a

$> cat bla.html

<tag>Do this and that</tag>

Then i want to do

$> cat | grep Some wildcard thingy (so it sorts out "Do this and that")

Do this and that

Sorry for my poor english, i'm pretty tired so i might edit it tomorrow :>

I hope you got my point ;)

Thanks!

Hi,

After you grep the line you want, you can pipe it to sed to strip the tags:

sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g

I tried it with a HTML file. It takes <tag>X</tag> and leaves X.
