I have an html file.The entire script is in one line only. The
following is the script.

<table><tbody><tr><td class="r">Chapter
1: ................................................. </td></tr></
tbody></table><p Hare Krishna</p>

In the above script I want to delete the text

<table><tbody><tr><td class="r">Chapter
1: ................................................. </td></tr></
tbody></table>

where ........ represents variable content.

I have 100 files with names 1.htm to 100.htm

How can i do this using unix commands rather than selecting the text
and deleting.

Thanks
Santhosh

PS No, I don't want dollars :D

Does it say "<p Hare Krishna</p> " in all files?

for file in `ls *.html 2>/dev/null`
do
cat $file | sed 's/\(.*\)\(<p Hare Krishna<\/p>\)\(.*\)/\2/'g >
tempfile
mv tempfile $file
done
