Hey,
I am trying to extract the page title from an HTML page
cat index.html | grep -i "title>"| sed 's/<title>/ /i'| sed 's/<\/title>/ /i'
The problem happens when some pages are written in one line! (believe me it happens)
How do I solve that?
Thanks!
sed -n 's/.*<title>\(.*\)<\/title>.*/\1/ip;T;q'
From Linux Commands.
1st result for Google: unix extract page title.
this awk one liner works also for title that spans more than 1 line.
$ cat file
<html>

$ awk 'BEGIN{RS="</title>"}/title/{gsub(".*<title>","");print}' file
