[Solved] Bash: uppercase text inside html tag with sed

by


This will work only for your case and is not parsing HTML.

DISCLAIMER

First read: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454/7939871

This parsing with a sed Search-and-replace Regular Expression is a shortcut interpretation.

It is in no way for use in any kind of production setup; as it would break on so many valid HTML syntax or layout variations like: namespaces, multi-line, spacing, nesting, use of attributes, entities, CDATA…

sed -E 's#<h1>(.*)</h1>#<h1>\U\1\E</h1>#g' <<<$'<h1>abcd</h1>\n<h2>efgh</h2>'

Basically, it switches-on upper-casing \U, then prints the captured group 1 \1, then switches-off upper-casing \E.
