Editing html files generated by mrtg

abonetti67 · 05-04-2010, 07:26 AM

hello , i'm using mrtg to generate html files. With mrtg , i use indexmaker . Inside html files , i have found some html tag like "<SMALL>some text</SMALL>".

There is the manner to delete text inside two tags ? With bash script ??

Thank's lot

This will only work if the tags are on the same line:
sed 's/<SMALL>[^<]*<\/SMALL>/<SMALL><\/SMALL>/g' file >newfile

Otherwise you will need to add more sed commands to handle each possible situation. You might want to read up on regular expressions. Sed, Awk and Perl use them extensively and they can be very picky.
