I’m trying to make a bash script where I would something like wget -O youtube.html http://youtube.com. I’m trying to figure out how to only the view counts with grep. I’ve used grep [0-9].views youtube.html but I’m still returning lots of unnecessary lines.

If someone could give me some hints that’d be great.

    You can quieten wget‘s output and pipe straight into grep with a positive lookahead to simply output the view counts:

    wget -q -O- http://youtube.com | grep -oP "[0-9,]+(?=\sviews)"
