Hi all, I'm brand new to Perl, and have just a little programming background. I was tasked with parsing a set of .html files in order to extract the data contained within some terribly formatted tables. Here is a sample of what I have.....
<tr> <th align="left" width="10%"><font size="-1">Data to be extracted </font></th> <td width="30%"><font size="-1"> DATA DATA DATA </font></td> <th align="left" width="10%"><font size="-1">Need this too</font></th> <td colspan="3" valign="top"><font size="-1">More data I need to get out</font></td> </tr> This is one row from the typical four row table that is returned as a search result. There are 25 of these four row tables per page. Could someone point me in the right direction as to how I might go about doing this? A colleague of mine told me "put the file into an array and use the 'split' command"....while I vaguely understand the concept, I'm not sure about the syntax. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks in advance, Dan
