I'm just wondering if that module can handle colspan and rowspan cells well... I'm not saying that I think it's a bad module if it can not. Rather will I think it is pretty good if it can.




"2b"||!"2b";$$_="the question"
Besides that, my code is untested unless stated otherwise.
One more: please review the article about regular expressions (do's and don'ts) I'm working on.

    Furthermore, TableExtract will automatically compensate for cell span issues so that columns are really the same columns as you would visually see in a browser.
