That works.. however it returns the whole <TD> tag.. I just want the value inside the tag. That is my core issue that I cant find the solution to. I can find plenty of expressions that will find the right <TD> tag but not one that will just give me the data between the tags
Read up on HTML::TableExtract.
Getting this sort of data using regex or similar is tricky and the page definition may change ( will change ).
If the tables are not well structured you may have to search by depth and count to get the right table. You will have to come to grips with the structure of the data you are dealing with - the tables and the form.

Happy reading. .
