Subject: html parsing using regular expressions

I'm new to Ruby and trying to use regular expressions to parse an html 
file. The page is a large table with no spaces in the html code. I want 
to count the number of times <tr> or <tr 'anything'> occurs. I'm stuck 
on trying to match every variety of <tr>

I've tried

op_file = File.read(htmlfile)
if op_file =~ /(<tr(.*?)>)+/

but it catches the first <tr and matches all the way to the end of the 
file. Anyone have any advice on matching and counting?
