I'd go for<br>
<br>
<date>[^<]+</date><br>
<br>
which will consume line breaks. Of course, this assumes that date only<br>
contains text and no other markup.<br>

Again, my knowledge of grep is probably dated. Â But I just tried the above, and it didn't work (it did not consume line breaks, so it couldn't find things that were on two successive lines). Â Are you using some command line parameter on grep that allows it to search across successive lines?<br>
