Hey,

Hi,

I want to get "grep" out an exact list of URLs from a whole buch of downloaded html pages. I can get as far as this sort of thing:

www.onlinebible.net/notes.html: href="http://www.answersingenesis.org/TheWord/Files/Notes//mhcc.exe">Matthew

Anyone know the magic string? :-)

maybe this can help (maybe not the best answer, but... :) cat file.html | grep "your original grep expression"| sed "s/<[aA] [Hh][Rr][Ee][Ff]=\(.*\)>/\1/g; s/\"//g" the first command substitutes a href="proto://abc.def.ghi/asd/qwe/asd" for "proto://abc.def.ghi/asd/qwe/asd", and the second command strips the quotes hope it helps
