help parsing html tables

[terminal2]

I'm trying to write an shell/awk script to parse the table below. I'd like to extract everything within the cells: i.e. category, title, seeders, leechers, etc..

Any help would be appreciated.

<a href="/browse/101" title="More from this category">Audio &gt; Music</a></td>
<td><a href="/torrent/3324221/_ystein_Sunde" class="detLink" title="Details for
Øystein Sunde">Øystein Sunde</a></td>
<td>05-01&nbsp;2005</td>
<td><a href="

.torrent" title="Download this torrent"><img src="

<td align="right">378.45&nbsp;MiB</td>

Try html2txt (Just google)

Hi

Try html2txt (Just google)

There are dozens of tools with that name. But [tt]lynx[/tt] is unique. ( Anyway, some html2txt "tools" are only wrappers around [tt]lynx[/tt]. )

lynx -dump -nolist /input/file

The problem is, the OP wanted to parse, not to convert.

But probably we will never find out more about this.
