How to combine wget and grep

I have a html-page url and I want to grep it. How can I do it by wget someArgs | grep keyword?

My first idea was wget -q -O - url | grep keyword, but wget's output bypass grep and arise on the terminal in its original form.

Solution 1:

The easiest way is to use curl with the option -s for silent:

curl -s http://somepage.com | grep whatever

Solution 2:

Keeping this around for the sake of completeness.

Your example should actually work. The syntax is correct, and here's a screencast I just took demonstrating it, with a good old GNU wget 1.13.4.

wget -q some-url -O - | grep something

So assume your pattern is wrong and grep will just output everything it got.
