I'm trying to remove html tags and fetch the html table data..
I've come to a stage where i need the table between these two html tags:

<div class='roundedBoxBody'><p>
#table that i need
<p>&nbsp;</p></p>
[download]

So, i wrote this regex to get the content

$x = "<div class=\'roundedBoxBody\'><p>";
$y = '<p>&nbsp\;</p></p>';
$content =~ /$x(.*)$y/ and $content_out = $1;
print $content_out;
[download]

However, it doesn't work, it doesn't give any error as well.
Is there a way to strip the html tags and take the table content into html?
What is the mistake in the code above?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
