Could you instead reformat the tables to some easily parseable format

That's the problem. I have several thousand tables I would have to reformat.

    Ouch.

    Any chance you can automate the reformatting somehow?

    Even if you could just put in a "table starts here"/"table stops here" type of marker around the tables, then the rest of your problem gets a lot simpler.

    Given the number of tables you're dealing with, I agree that's probably not trivial. But if you're lucky, there's some indicator you can "grab on to" to start from. How are the tables declared, with [][][]...?

    I think there's got to be a way to get a start on the problem, but without knowing what the code looks like, it's hard to make intelligent guesses.

      Ok, here's an example of one of the smaller tables. (pardon the mangled SJIS Japanese comments)
