RSS in Geektool

[donaldj]

hello!

I am using the following code to display the popular Digg stories on my desktop using GeekTool:

#!/bin/sh

URL="http://feeds.digg.com/digg/popular.rss"

if [ $# -eq 1 ] ; then
  headarg=$(( $1 * 2 ))
else
  headarg="-8"
fi

curl --silent "$URL" | grep -E '(title>|description>)' | \
  sed -n '3,$p' | \
  sed -e 's/<title>//' -e 's/<\/title>//' -e 's/<description>/   /' \
      -e 's/<\/description>//' | \
  sed -e 's/<!\[CDATA\[//g' |            
  sed -e 's/\]\]>//g' |         
  sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g' |      
  head $headarg | sed G | fmt

In addition to my lovely Digg articles, I get some nasty HTML. All of them start with '<a' and end with '/%gt' (without quotes). Like this:

A troubled week in Iran [Pics]

Is there a way I can filter these out, or just keep in what I want?

Thanks!
