there are such things as "css div tables" that use div and css and look like tables in modern browsers but aren't, tableextract won't help you with those	[reply]

hmm, i took a good hard look at the code of the page im extracting from.. it is definitely table tags.. however there aren't any headers, so that seems to be why I can't use TableExtract. looking into Table.pm now, http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=52723	[reply]
