Hi All, I am new to parsing html pages using regular expressions. And I am wondering if some could point me into the right direction. I am trying to get the word: PAL1001 from the page below. 
<font size="-2" face=verdana> <b>Catalog Number:</b>&nbsp;

     

                PAL1001

    

            <br>
<&c>
I have tried the following code unsuccessfully:

I have tried the following code
<c>
$results=~ /(Catalog Number:)/;
if($1) {print "$1\n";} else {print "nothing\n";};

When I removed the colon it matches the words Catalog Numbers in a incorrect location. 
$results=~ /(Catalog Number)/;
if($1) {print "$1\n";} else {print "nothing\n";};

Thanks in advance for the help. Sincerely, Pancho
