removing html with sed
|

| I am trying to remove the following with sed but am not having any
luck. I tried using the ".*" options like this, "sed -e 's/
<STRONG>Place mouse.*<\/\TABLE>//' filename.txt" but it doesn't appear
to match the string and remove the code. Anyone know how I can do
this?
<STRONG>Place mouse over picture below to change view above.<SCRIPT
language=JavaScript><!-- Beginvar pic01 = new Image();var pic02 = new
Image(); var pic03 = new Image();pic01.src = "http://www.myserver.com/
itset.jpg";pic02.src = "http://www.myserver.com/itset.jpg";function
doButtons(picimage) {eval("document['picture'].src = " + picimage +
".src");}// End --></SCRIPT> </STRONG></FONT><TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD

sed only has the standard greedy match .* so I suggest PERL with its
minimum match .*?
perl -pe 's#<STRONG>Place mouse.*?</STRONG>##'

The only time this will work is when everything
that you are trying to match is on one line.
ruby -e 'puts gets(nil).
sub(/<STRONG>Place mouse.*?<\/STRONG>/m,"")'
