After using grep on an html file, I get the following output:
<div id="v3060000-3062005" class="BLAH...>
<div id="v50001027-50002018" class="BLAH...>
<div id="v907200-907202" class="BLAH...>
<div id="v20024011-20024012" class="BLAH...>
I need to extract the strings of numbers from the lines above and combine them into a URL such as:
http://x.y.z/3060000-3062005,50001027-50002018,907200-907202,20024011-20024012.mp3
May I know how I can do this using a shell script?

Normally, I would advise that you use a proper HTML parser to parse HTML.
However, this data looks pretty straightforward: using a double quote (optionally followed by "v") as the field separator, grab the 2nd field of each line. Then join the pieces with commas
