Thanks. One thing just reading the manual without the idea of how the
function works is of no use. Some examples would help. In fact I did use
fopen, fgets, fgetss but the problems is that the html tag that I am
looking is <td>. Now this is easy but if <td width="25%"> or <td
colspan="7"> would give a problem.
