good evening dear Monks!


his might sound like a strange question, but bear with me.. My mind just went blank when i got a ware this job!

Well i have 5000 files which have to be parsed - in order to strip of the HTML: the good thing is: In each HTML-file i have to get only one line of text - the following is of interest:
In line 999 i have the following results:

Well - how to do the parser-job: can i tell the HTML-Parser that i only have to get the line 999 ? Note: The data shold be stored in a database: 

</p><h1>dataset 1:</h1>

&nbsp;<table border="0" bgcolor="#EFEFEF"  leftmargin="15" topmargin="
+5"><tr>  
<td><strong>name:</strong>&nbsp;</td>  <td width=500> myname one

Well - the question is - is it possible to do the search in the 5000 files with this attribute: that the line 999 is of interest. In other words - can i tell the HTML-paerser that he has to look (/and extract) exactly the line 999!?

Look forward to any and all ideas.
