here is my code:

$ctr=0; while(/(<table>[^\000]*?<\/table>)/){ $text=$1; while($text=~/<table>/){ $tag=$&; $ctr=$ctr+1; $tag=~s/(<table)/\1$ctr/; $text=~s/<table>/$tag/; } $text=~s/(<table)$ctr>/\1_level$ctr>/g; $text=~s/(<\/table)>/\1_level$ctr>/g; $ctr=0; $text=~s/(<table)[0-9]+>/\1>/g; $text=~s/(<\/?)(thead|tbody)([^>]*)?>//g; $text=~s/(<\/?)(th)([^>]*)?>/$1td>/g; while($text =~ /<a href="([^"]*)">[^\000]*?<\/a>/){ $href = $1; $class = ""; if($href =~ /^http/i){ $class = "http";} if($href =~ /^www/i){ $class = "nohttp";} if($href =~ /^mailto/i){$class = "mailto";} if($href =~ /^ftp/i){ $class = "ftp";} if($class eq ""){ $text =~ s/<a href="([^"]*)">([^\000]*?)<\/a>/\2/; }else{ $text =~ s/<a href="([^"]*)">([^\000]*?)<\/a>/<remotelink href +class="$class" href="\1" >\2<\/remotelink>/; } } s/<table>[^\000]*?<\/table>/$text/; } # Remove table and img tags inside table if an <img /> tag was encou +ntered while (/<table_level(2|3)>[^\000]*?<\/table_level\1>/) { $table2=$&; if ($table2 =~ /<img /) { # Remove all table tags including <img /> tag $table2=~s/<\/?(table_level(2|3)|tr|td)(\s+[^>]*)?>|<img\s+[^>]*\/ +>//g; s/<table_level(2|3)>[^\000]*?<\/table_level\1>/$table2/; } else { $table2=~s/(<\/?table_level\d)/$1_temp/g; s/<table_level(2|3)>[^\000]*?<\/table_level\1>/$table2/; } } s/(<\/?table_level\d)_temp/$1/g; # Extract table inside table if no <img /> tag was encountered # inside the inner table. while (/(<table_level1>[^\000]*?<\/table_level1>)/) { $table1=$1; #$table2=""; $table=""; while ($table1=~ /<table_level2>([^\000]*?)<\/table_level2>/) { $table2=$1; $table=$&; # Extract inner table and place it after the second level table + $extracted_table3=""; while ($table2 =~ s/(<table_level3>[^\000]*?<\/table_level3>)//) + { $extracted_table3="$extracted_table3\n$1"; } $table2=~s/<table_level2>([^\000]*?)<\/table_level2>/$table$extr +acted_table3/g; #$table2=~s/(<table_level2>[^\000]*?<\/table_level2>)/$1$extract +ed_table3/g; s/(<table_level2>[^\000]*?<\/table_level2>)//; #$table2=~s/(<\/?table)_level2/$1_2/g; } $table1=~s/<table_level2>([^\000]*?)<\/table_level2>//; $table1=~s/<table_2>([^\000]*?)<\/table_2>//; $table1=~s/(<\/?table)_level1/$1/g; s/<table_level1>[^\000]*?<\/table_level1>/$table2$table1/; } s/(<\/?table)_(level\d|\d)/$1/g;

And here is my sample data

<table> <tr> <td> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Vill</th> <th>Hi</th> <th>Au</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Aix</td> <td>40</td> <td>27</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Freib</td> <td>30</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Gdan</td> <td>20</td> <td>13</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Gd</td> <td>44</td> <td>14</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Gren</td> <td>33</td> <td>22</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Karl</td> <td>26</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>La</td> <td>31</td> <td>18</td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td>30</td> <td>20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Lyon</td> <td>41</td> <td>19</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Man</td> <td>22</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mar</td> <td>32</td> <td>18</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mar</td> <td>17</td> <td>13</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mon</td> <td>36</td> <td>26</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mul</td> <td>30</td> <td>45</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mun</td> <td>28</td> <td>23</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Nice</td> <td>41</td> <td>17</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Nims</td> <td>34</td> <td>25</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Nio</td> <td>29</td> <td>21</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Orleans</td> <td>32</td> <td>17</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Pad</td> <td>36</td> <td>20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Paris</td> <td>24</td> <td>29</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Perk</td> <td>38</td> <td>29</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Poit</td> <td>27</td> <td>24</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Prag</td> <td>26</td> <td>16</td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td>23</td> <td>14</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Ren</td> <td>30</td> <td>18</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Rot</td> <td>36</td> <td>27</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Rou</td> <td>45</td> <td>22</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Saint</td> <td>33</td> <td>20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Salon</td> <td>33</td> <td>18</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Sev</td> <td>63</td> <td>29</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Sop</td> <td>19</td> <td>8</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Stra</td> <td>28</td> <td>26</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Stut</td> <td>26</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>logne</td> <td>22</td> <td>11</td> </tr> <tr> <td>lon</td> <td>31</td> <td>22</td> </tr> <tr> <td>use</td> <td>28</td> <td>17</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Ts</td> <td>29</td> <td>22</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Val</td> <td>36</td> <td>23</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Zur</td> <td>29</td> <td>22</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> <td> <table> <tr> <td><span><strong>Legend</strong></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>head1</th> <th>head2</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>bon</td> <td></td> <td>0 / 25</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Ton</td> <td></td> <td>25 / 50</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Don</td> <td></td> <td>50 / 75</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Con</td> <td></td> <td>75 / 100</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Trs</td> <td></td> <td> 100</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">This is a sample content</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">Site : <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target=" +_blank">www.yahoo.com</a></td> </tr> </table>

The output should be like, if a table is consists of 3 levels. the level 2 should be at the top of level 1 then level 3 should be at the bottom of level 2.

The output will be:

level2

level3

level1

If there will be a table greater than the 3rd level or the deepest level, it will be outputted at the bottom of the 3rd level.

Example

level2

level3

level4

level5

level6

level7

level8

level1

Hope I explained it well.
