extracting table along with HTML tags

[kaancho12]

hi,
is it possible to use HTML::TableExtract along with some other functions to extract the table and its contents and display the result in html format.
I am letting people search something on our site (but in the background using search on another site) and grabbing the results which is returned in one of the tables. i want only a couple of the columns in the returned tables to show and I use HTML::TableExtract to extract it. But i am losing the html tags in it.
thanks

Why not write a simple loop to read the html and copy to a scalar from where you see a <table> tag to where you see a </table> tag?
Roll your own?

If you post a (reduced) sample of the html source and a simple example of the result you need I'll write some code that will do it for you.

i think i figured it out. I am receiving the data in a certain pattern so i worked it out.

It sorta depends how you are reading your data,

If you are using a filehandle, then start reading/buffering from <table till you find a </table>

If i'ts in a var, then you could use a single regex in a while loop to ectract all the tables in your html.
