Scott is right, and Leigh was right before, when you asked a similar question, jSoup is your best option.<\/p>\n

As to a regex solution. This is possible with regex but there are problems that regex cannot always solve. For instance, if the first or second table contains a nested table, this regex would trip. (Note that text is not required between the tables, I’m just demonstrating that things can be between the tables)<\/p>\n

(If there is always a nested table, regex can handle it, but if there is sometimes a nested table, in other words: unknown), it gets a lot messier.)<\/p>\n

<cfsavecontent variable=\"sampledata\">\n<body>\n<table cellpadding=\"4\"><\/table>stuff\nis <table border=\"5\" cellspacing=\"7\"><\/table>between\n<table border=\"3\"><\/table>the\n<table border=\"2\"><\/table>tables\n<table><\/table>\n<\/body>\n<\/cfsavecontent>\n\n<cfset sampledata = rereplace(sampledata,\"(?s)(.*?<table.*?>.*?<\\\/table>.*?)(<table.*?>.*?<\\\/table>)(.*)\",\"\\1\\3\",\"ALL\") \/>\n<cfoutput><pre>#htmleditformat(sampledata)#<\/pre><\/cfoutput>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
What this does is<\/p>\n
(?s)<\/code> sets . to match newlines as well.
\n(.*?<table.*?>.*?<\\\/table>.*?)<\/code> Matches everything before the first table, the first table, and everything between it and the second table and sets it as capture group 1.
\n(<table.*?>.*?<\\\/table>)<\/code> Matches the second table and creates capture group 2.
\n(.*)<\/code> matches everything after the second table and creates capture group 3.<\/p>\n
And then the third paramters \\1\\3<\/code> picks up the first and third capture groups.<\/p>\n
If you have control of the source document, you can create html comments like<\/p>\n
<!-- table1 -->\n  <table>...<\/table>\n<!-- \/table1 -->\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
And then use that in the regex and end up with a more regex-friendly document.<\/p>\n
However, still, Scott said it best, not using the proper tool for the task is:<\/p>\n
\n
That is like telling a carpenter, build me a house, but don’t use a hammer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
These tools are created because programmers frequently run into precisely the problem you’re having, and so they create a tool, and often freely share it, because it does the job much better.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
