I have a geektool script to check bitcoin buy price on coinbase, but it is not working.
curl --silent https://coinbase.com/charts | grep -E '(Buy Price <strong>|><BR)' | sed 's/[^.0-9]*//g' |
Do I need to install additional things to fix it or is my code just wrong? Thanks!

Probably should be in another group. I, for one, don't use a Macbook Air. But I saw your post through "New Posts".

anyway, when debugging shell scripts, it's often a good idea to start with the basics...

Code: 
Typhon:~ jeremy$ curl --silent https://coinbase.com/charts 

<html><body>You are being <a href="https://www.coinbase.com/charts">redirected</a>.</body></html>

so, no matter what sed and grep code you use, you're never going to be able to correctly parse the results until you figure out the proper URL.
