title: How can I extract only the text from an HTML table and ignore the tags?
body: <p>I have documents with HTML Tables. Some of the cells have only numbers. Other cells have numbers and words. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to keep just the contents of the cells that have words and not keep the contents of cells with only numbers?</p>
  
  <p>Is there a module that anyone is aware of that I could use to do this? Alternatively, is there anyway I could use a regular expression? </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;table&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS 123&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td&gt; 789&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;td&gt; 123 &lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;WORDS WORDS&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am still pretty new to perl, so please excuse my question if it is very simple.  Also, I have already been warned about the potential problems of parsing HTML text using a regular expression.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks so much!</p>
  
  <p>Eventually, I'll use a module to kill all of the HTML code, by the way.</p>
