    Awe Forget it

    This is a bunch of bull cr*p. I have tried copying tables out on the web
    and there are so many variations that its not feasable to write a single
    regex for every situation.

    So, I give up.

      Hello...

      Please try to keep your related posts together in one thread ;)

      And now a sugestion:

      Try the HTML-DOM and look at the tags there... They have a property of inner
      text, which can be used to extract the text out of any HTML-Node or even the
      whole document... Or you can examine all tables or table.row or tabledata
      fields and extract the information from there. But scrapping information
      from websites is usually quite hard ;)

          This will get all the tables: Set IgnoreCase and SingleLine options. Use
          groups.

          <table .*?</table>

              Well shux, why don't you just read the file one char at a time and use use
              "if" statements and comparison operators?
              It won't be a minimal task, but it won't be that tough, either.

                      Just Me,

                      Why than using Regex, MSHTML is much easier to get information about
                      webdocuments. Be aware that a page can exist from more documents (frames)

                      Be aware that our website is extremely in reconstruction these weeks.

                      I hope this helps,

                      Cor
