I have

<table ... >
[more stuff here]
mystring
[more stuff here]
</table>

in an html file that contains a lot of tables.
I need to match only the table that contains the string "mystring".
There are no nested tables in that table.
"mystring" is unique in the file.

I forgot to write "opening" and "closing" table tag in my original post.
