<a href="http://google.com">google</a>
<a href="http://www.bing.com">bing</a>
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">yahoo</a>

best way to go about this?

i was using sed, but its printing the 2nd h3

Code:

sed -n '/<h3>/,/<\/h3>/p' test.txt

any input would be great ;)

Fast and dirty -- should be in strict
in a foreach loop

Code:

Perl

foreach(@_){if ($_=~/href/ig)   {chomp $_; print FILE $_\n";}}
