awk如何从html标记中提取信息

Question

I want the FS to be <......>

the dots being ANYTHING. So if I have let's say

<td width="50%" valign="top">System Hardware</td>

I want to extract System Hardware . I've tried 2 things but it doesn't work.

1. awk -F "\\<([^>]+)\\>" '{print $1}' test.txt
2. awk -F "\\<?*\\>" '{print $1}' test.txt

In both cases I get nothing

Answer 1

You're getting nothing because you're telling awk to print $1 which would be the field BEFORE the first field separator. You want print $2 .

$ awk -F'<[^>]+>' '{print $2}' file
System Hardware
