Subject: Finding a sentence (more than one word & punctuation (, . ;)) in a string?

given this string

"    <td valign=\"top\">message</td>    <td valign=\"top\">the message 
to echo.</td>    <td valign=\"top\" align=\"center\">Yes, unless data is 
included in a character section within this element.</td>  </tr>  "

how can I get this result

["message", "the message to echo.", "Yes, unless data is included in a 
character section within this element."]

?

I've tried scan + regexp, but the best I've got so far is

[["message"]]

with this

r.scan(/\">(\w+\s*)<\/td>/)

Thanks
