The code available from hlstats seems pretty decent at handling most usernames. We've used it for our TF2 tourney scoreboard (http://www.nomoose.org/?p=122 ) without much hassle. It's all perl regex's that grab pretty much everything you'd need. Worth a look and pretty easy to strip out what you need.
