Sed Question

felix001 · 02-28-2011, 06:31 AM

I currently have html code which I want to remove all

<p> after any <blockquote>
</p> before any </blockquote>

Below is an example of some of the html.

Code:

6. Under the global_policy map,&nbsp; assign the http inspection policy map against the match class map (class-http-match1) .
<blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; policy-map global_policy<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; class class-http-match1<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; inspect http policy-http1</p>
</blockquote>
<p>7. Assign global_policy to all interfaces.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; service-policy global_policy global</p>
</blockquote>

Ive tried using the following without success..

Code:

sed  "s/<blockquote>'\n'/<blockquote>/g" inputhtml.txt
