Hi People:

Could anybody tell me how can I do this with awk or bash shell?
I've a file with this systaxis:

#cat file
I went fishing for some sea <bass>.
The <bass> part of the song is very moving.
he proposed an elaborate <program> of public works.This information
was taken from the magazine.
the <program> required several hundred lines of code.


I need a script that gets 3 previus words and 3 words after the
tag(<>) from a text file,EXCEPT the words greater than 2 chars
length(example of,a,an).

Returning something like this:

#cat results
for some sea bass
The bass part the song
proprosed elaborate program public works
the program required several hundred

Thanks!

"probe"? Do you mean "prove"?

It should be pretty easy using awk or perl.
