haha, how stupid am I to not think about using a regular expression while my first 4 months of stage were a 7 hour a day of learning/creating regular expressions.. well, I don't know sed (the s/$regexp/$something/g I know, but not the /$regexp/p ?? is it /p == /print ?) so I don't think of using it automatically... + I don't like using regexps in the shell because the shell interprets [ ] and you end up escaping all chars and it's a mess! anyways, your mail was very instructive and take you for helping me! I'll put up a script that does that in a while and send the info about where to find the results...

thx again

IF someone is good enough in scripting, it would be nice to have a script that would grep these [TODO] and [FIXME] things and convert the line from
html to text...
(an idea :
grep \[TODO\]  * > todo
grep \[FIXME\] * > fixme
cat todo fixme > list
tclsh remove_html < list

with remove_html as a tcl script that would parse line per line, when it
finds a '<', it skips the letters until a '>' so all tags could be
removed...

a script (not tcl) which does the removal of everything between < and >
could look like:
sed -e 's/<[^>]*>/ /g'

if you want to do the above all in 1 line without the necessity of temporary
files you could do this (note the newlines are necessary but are all
contained within the quotes):
sed -n -e '
s/<[^>]*>/ /g
/\[TODO\]/p
/\[FIXME\]/p' *

Or if you prefer you can put the 3 lines within the quotes into a file and
then run:
sed -n -f filename *

You could also add the line (add it as the second line):
s/[^\[]*\[/[/
which will remove everything up to the first [ (ie remove the time and
name), although you may like to keep those.
