that works well, the other item I need to grab is 'Duration', which can be
2 or 3 digits as below;
is there a way to have egrep get such 2 or 3 digits ?
<tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Duration: </td><td colspan="1"
rowspan="1">60</td></tr>
or
...<td colspan="1" rowspan="1">120</td>...
Use the ? operator, which means that a match is optional, i.e.
egrep -i 'duration' | egrep -o '>[0-9][0-9][0-9]?<'
