Parsing HTML Tables

Hi Geezers,

I need some code which will parse and strip attributes from a table in a
textbox. Basically, I need to paste in the table and run a little routing to
convert the table into a DataTable.

Does anyone have such code or know where I can obtain it ?

Cheers

If the file read is in XHTML format, you can use the classes contained in
the 'System.Xml' namespace for reading information from the file.
