Hey guys, I am trying to extract a pattern from a downloaded html file. I only want the first match printed, problem is I don't know how to force sed to exit after printing the first match of a capture group. Anyone know the trick to manipulating {p;q;} to print a capture group?
awk '{if ( $0 ~ /p;q;/ ) { print $0; exit;}}' filename
would work....
