OK, I'm getting more and more into EDM.  I need a little help, though.

I'm pretty set on searching for a particular phrase and then deleting
_lines_ in order to parse out what you need.  But what about deleting out
parts of a line?  For example:

http://feeds.infospace.com/info/stat2tbl?otmpl=/inews/news-cat.html&sin=kevn
ews/news.com.hl&qcat=2

A great link that shows quick blurbs about current events.  A search for
'qcat'  will get you to the first story, but what is the best way to parse
out all the <tr> and <td> crap that takes up most of the line?
