    @MagePsycho bash does not have any built-in support for XML parsing. You either need to have a tool that does (xmlstarlet, xsltproc, a modern Python, etc), or you can't parse XML correctly. Commented Jul 17, 2013 at 15:48

    @MagePsycho you can just install xmlstarlet. In any case, you should never use regular expressions to parse (X)HTML. Commented Jul 17, 2013 at 15:57
