    Default help with regex

    Hi, to try and save some time I was wondering if anyone here could help me? Currently I am using .trim() to get rid of any white space before or after the current line being looked at. Then I want to split the line and put the parts I want into the array:

    theLine = theLine.trim();
    String [] tokens = theLine.split("\\s+"); //obviously I need to replace "\\s+" with something else


    here is an example of what I need to parse and the pieces i'm trying to get:
    I am trying to get "sept 1, 2010" in the first cell of the array. Then 12,9,18,11,19,5
    any help would be awesome!

    </TR>


    <TR class="general_odd_row">
    <TD class="historic data">Sept 1, 2010</TD>
    <TD align="center" class="crap_I_dont_want text_align_center" >12</TD>
    <TD align="center" class="crap_I_dont_want" >9</TD>
    <TD align="center" class="crap_I_dont_want" >18</TD>
    <TD align="center" class="crap_I_dont_want" >11</TD>
    <TD align="center" class="crap_I_dont_want" >19</TD>
    <TD align="center" class="crap_I_dont_want" >5</TD>

    </TR>

    Take a look at Lesson: Regular Expressions (The Java™ Tutorials > Essential Classes) and take not that the information you want starts with >, and ends with <.
