[Nestor]

Thanks to all forthe regex help
I actualy was trying to accomplish this in PHP but
I ended up doing it in perl.  It was easier reading the file
itself.

 $_ =~ s/.*[^>]+>(.*[^<])<\\/td>/\\1/gi;

Thanks again,

nestor :-)

Comments:

1.  The binding operator (=~) should be used.
2.  If $_ is used, then it's redundant and can be omitted.
3.  It's broken.  The following demonstrates:

  $_ = '<td width="10">this</td><td with="10">that</td>';
  s/<td .*>(.*)<\\/td>//gi;
  print $1;

Cheers,
Ovid
