Remove HTML Tags Sed

remove_html_tags_sed.md

Below is a one liner example how to remove both <ins ... ></ins> and <script> ... </script> tags:

✗ ls *.html | xargs sed -i.bak -E '/<ins\b[^>]*>.*?<\/ins>/d; /<script\b[^>]*>.*?<\/script>/d'
✗ rg -in adsbygoogle * | more
✗ find . -type f -iname \*.html.bak -delete
✗

Perl approach is well-suited for multi-line processing:

✗ find . -type f -iname \*.html | xargs perl -0777 -pi.bak \
    -e 's/<script\b[^>]*>.*?<\/script>//gs; s/<ins\b[^>]*>.*?<\/ins>//gs'
✗ find . -type f -iname \*.html.bak -delete
