Hi All,

I've got a string with very unclean HTML. Before I parse it, I want to convert this:

<TABLE><TR><TD width="33%" nowrap=1><font size="1" face="Arial">
NE
</font> </TD>
<TD width="33%" nowrap=1><font size="1" face="Arial">
DEK
</font> </TD>
<TD width="33%" nowrap=1><font size="1" face="Arial">
143
</font> </TD>
</TR></TABLE>

in NE DEK 143 so it is a bit easier to parse. I've got this regular expression (RegexKitLite):

NSString *str = [dataString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfRegex:@"<TABLE><TR><TD width=\"33%\" nowrap=1><font size=\"1\" face=\"Arial\">(.+?)<\\/font> <\\/TD>(.+?)<TD width=\"33%\" nowrap=1><font size=\"1\" face=\"Arial\">(.+?)<\\/font> <\\/TD>(.+?)<TD width=\"33%\" nowrap=1><font size=\"1\" face=\"Arial\">(.+?)<\\/font> <\\/TD>(.+?)<\\/TR><\\/TABLE>" 
                                                     withString:@"$1 $3 $5"];

I'm no an expert in Regex. Can someone help me out here?

Regards, dodo
