I think the easiest way to do it is to modify the file slightly so that the
<td> for that piece of that table is different, so you can find it, like do
<td >, which is perfectly legal, but it is different from the other <td>'s
(or use a title="key" attribute or something).
<cfset begin_pos = find("<TD >", variable_that_contains_the_table_code) + 5>
<cfset end_pos = find("</TD>", variable_that_contains_the_table_code,
begin_pos) -1>
<cfset string_chunk = mid(variable_that_contains_the_table_code, begin_pos,
end_pos)>
Something like that should work. I think. If you use a different qualifier
instead of <td >, just replace that bit.
