# YouTube HTML parser:
to output a list of simple URIs and titles

Syntax:

    cat example.html | youtube-html-parser-to-simple-uri-and-title

## Example

Example input such as a typical YouTube list of related videos:

    

    

    


Example output:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=100 Lorem ipsum

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=200 Dolor sit amet

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=300 Consectetur adipiscing

Example that selects matching title text, then sorts by the title field:

    cat example.html |

    youtube-html-parser-to-simple-uri-and-title |

    grep -i 'best of' |

    sort -k2

## Implementation

This implementation does quick-and-dirty parsing of real world HTML.

TODO: upgrade from simple grep to real HTML parsing.
