SED interval specification

Guys I have another problem, i think sed can do that

input (all in one line):

Code:

SITA<br>_________<br><span class="foto">FOTO: ilustračné foto SITA_AP<br><br><span class="datum">Sobota 24. októbra&nbsp;2009</span><br clear="left">

desired output

Code:

2009 Sobota 24. októbra

tried this

Code:

cat mikus.html | sed -n 's/"datum">\([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]* [0-9][0-9]*\. [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]*\)&[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]*;\([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\)/\2 \1/gp'

also extended regexps

cat mikus.html | sed -nr 's/"datum">([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]* [0-9][0-9]*\. [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]*)&[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]*;([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])/\2 \1/gp'

but both returns the same output

Code:

SITA<br>_________<br><span class="foto">FOTO: ilustračné foto SITA_AP<br><br><span class=2009 Sobota 24. októbra</span><br clear="left">

I tried same regexp (without memory of course) in grep an seems work

Code:

grep -o '"datum">[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]* [0-9][0-9]*\. [a-zA-Z&][A-Za-z&]*;[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' mikus.html 
"datum">Sobota 24. októbra&nbsp;2009

What I am doing wrong with sed ? Thank you all

awk

Code:

# awk -vRS='</span>' '{gsub(/.*>|&nbsp;/,"")}1' file
