Hello Tony,

I guess you want to insert the data of tables included in your HTML
Pages, am I right???

If so, may be you want to create a Shell-Script (Perl ???) that reads the
rows of your tables in the HTML-Pages using the HTML  tags
<th></th>  <td></th>as field separator.

You also can convert the HTML-pages first in human readable ascii - tables :)
and than read this output with a Script (Again Perl ???). The tools to do
this is 'html2text'.

Best Regards  / Mit freundlichen Gruß / Un saludo
