How can I remove all the <a href links from text file?
 
Quote:
<a class=link target=_parent href=www.google.com>Google</a> &nbsp;&nbsp; <a class=link target=_parent href=http://www.yahoo.com>Yahoo</a> &nbsp;&nbsp; <a class=link target=_parent href=http://www.live.com>Live</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;
I am trying to remove <a href links using SED but unable to do it.

The finale result I am looking for is

Quote:
Google &nbsp;&nbsp; Yahoo &nbsp;&nbsp; Live &nbsp;&nbsp;
Is it possible with Linux or should I try with Php? Please help me.

Something like that?
Code:
echo '<a class=link target=_parent href=www.google.com>Google</a> &nbsp;&nbsp; <a class=link target=_parent href=http://www.yahoo.com>Yahoo</a> &nbsp;&nbsp; <a class=link target=_parent href=http://www.live.com>Live</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;' | sed -r 's/<a class=link target=_parent href=[^>]+>//g;s/<\/a>//g'
Google &nbsp;&nbsp; Yahoo &nbsp;&nbsp; Live &nbsp;&nbsp;

Cheers,
Tink
