Get content between a pair of HTML tags using Bash

Using sed in shell/bash, so you needn't install something else.

tag=body
sed -n "/<$tag>/,/<\/$tag>/p" file

plain text processing is not good for html/xml parsing. I hope this could give you some idea:

kent$  xmllint --xpath "//body" f.html 
<body>
 text
  <div>
  text2
    <div>
        text3
    </div>
  </div>
</body>
