Hi, I am stuck on this, have spent hours trying to find an answer :/
I am trying to use sed to strip away content in .html files. Sometimes the html files have the html tags on own rows and sometimes not, as in the examples below:
Example a.html:
Example b.html:Code:<html> <head> <title>Example A</title> </head> <body style="styleA"> <p>Some text </body> </html>
With the following sed command I can add text after a tag independent of if it has a newline or not...Code:<html><head><title>Example B</title></head><body style="styleB"><p>Some text</body></html>
BUT I only want to add the newline when the tag is NOT followed by a newline... So I am trying to do the same as above but use the searchcritera as above + NOT a newline which I thought was '^$', i.e.Code:tobbe@virtualbox:~/$ sed 's/<[\/]*body[^>]*>/&\ /g' a.html <html> <head> <title>Example A</title> </head> <body style="styleA"> <p>Some text </body> </html> tobbe@virtualbox:~/$ tobbe@virtualbox:~/$ tobbe@virtualbox:~/$ sed 's/<[\/]*body[^>]*>/&\ /g' b.html <html><head><title>Example B</title></head><body style="styleB"> <p>Some text</body> </html>
Code:tobbe@virtualbox:~/$ sed 's/<[\/]*body[^>]*>^$/&\ /g' b.html <html><head><title>Example B</title></head><body style="styleB"><p>Some text</body></html>
