I'm trying to parse a webpage using TokeParser. This is what I have to check for some data in table tags.. 
         elsif( ($tag eq "td")  )
         {
 
             my $text = $tp->get_text;  
             print "$text\n"
             if($text =~ /\d{1,2}/);
         }

The tag contents I am looking for look like this: <td>&nbsp;##&nbsp;</td> where ## is either a single or two digit number. However, there are lots of td tags in the page that contain numbers with decimals points but without the nbsp tag. ie. <td>5.4</td>. I tried to screen the tags using the nbsp tag but that didn't work. 
if($text =~ /nbsp/);

Any ideas why not? Is there any way to write the if statement above to screen for just a single or two digit number or to somehow exclude text that contains decimal points? Thanks.
