Hi,

I think you need to provide further information: what are the lines you want to grep and what should be the output?
What have you done to attempt to solve this problem yourself?
Post your sample script, and we'll see how we can assist.

I wan 2 grep something from channelnewsasia.com, i already save the source code into a txt file using curl_http://channelnewsasia.com/singapore/index.htm > news.txt, ok now i got the txt file, and i want to grep the headlines under the top story, i think the command i got here is, cat news1.txt | grep header | head -3 | sed 's/<[^<>]*//g ' |tail -1 . how do i write the script to tell him to grep out the headlines automatically , combining it with cron ?
