If you're positive the html is consistently formatted,
(machine-generated for instance and you're the generator), you could
do something along this line:
my $regex = qr{ .*? <div .*? id="product" .*? class="product" .*? >
.*? ( <table .*? border="0"
.*? </table> ) .*? </div>
}six;
{ local($/);
my $content = <DATA>; # substitute your lexical filehandle
while ( $content =~ /$regex/g) {
print "table=$1";
}
}
