is there anyone who knows how to text-edit on html page using tools
such as sed, awk, or perl?
for example, in finance.yahoo.com, i find out financial statement,
then, i want to substract only numbers that i want to put into my
database.

based upon your expertise, is there any way to do such things by using
text-editing tools with regular expression? it would be great to have
respone on how to do that, but i would be stil good to learn just
ways.
thank you
