Re: Regex not working

Thank you everyone, the /s was the problem, i had not put it...that prevented the regex from working
Also, I am planning to use HTML::TreeBuilder...to get the table.

<table border='1' width='50%' align='center'><tr><td><strong>Customer<
+/td><td><strong>Total Samples</td><td><s
trong>SL Violations</td><td><strong>Avg Availability</td></tr><tr><td>
All Customers</td><td>187556</td><td>2167</td><td>98.84</td>
</td></tr></table>
<br><p><strong><h2><center>Customers Below 90% Available</center></h2>
+</p><table border='1' width='50%' align=
'center'><tr><td><strong>Customer</td><td><strong>Total Samples</td><t
+d><strong>SL Violations</td><td><strong>
Availability</td></tr>
<tr><td>10P</td><td>1064</td><td>130</td><td>87.78 %</td></tr>
<tr><td>B8S</td><td>326</td><td>34</td><td>89.57 %</td></tr>
</tr></table>

I'm trying to get individual values from the table and then convert to pdf...
Would HTML::TreeBuilder be a good choice to fetch data?

I'm trying to get individual values from the table and then convert to pdf... Would HTML::TreeBuilder be a good choice to fetch data? I've minimal experience with it, mainly because each time I pick it up, I've found the interface cumbersome, and unwieldy to use. And it's pretty slow, relatively speaking, although I don't consider that to be an important point. I find HTML::Parser much easier to use (although you have to invest some time in learning how to use it). If you install it via a package, do yourself a favour and track down the examples directory that is bundled with the distribution. You will probably find an example that you can adapt to the problem at hand. It's a complex tool that's worthwhile mastering if you have to grovel around in HTML files. • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply]

Hi Raghu, Since, you are evaluating different perl modules to parse HTML files, you can take a look at HTML::TokeParser. It is an alternative HTML::Parser interface. I have used it and found it pretty helpful. - Prantik	[reply]
