Hi,

I would like to parse a very simple html(index_msg.htm) file described 
below :

<tr>
   <td>WM_ACTIVATE</td>
   <td>0x0006</td>
   <td></td>
   <td>0x0000</td>
   <td>WM_NULL</td>
</tr>
<tr>
   <td>WM_ACTIVATEAPP</td>
   <td>0x001C</td>
   <td></td>
   <td>0x0001</td>
   <td>WM_CREATE</td>
</tr>
...
  I would like to parse this file and to extract information like this :

enum foo
{
   eWM_ACTIVATE = 0x0006,
   eWM_ACTIVATEAPP = 0x0001,
  ...
};

I am starting with this :


fileIn  = File.open("C:/WIKI_CE/index_msg.htm", "r")
fileOut = File.new("C:/WIKI_CE/enumWmMsg.h", "w")

begin
     while (line = fileIn.readline)
         line.chomp
         $stdout.print line
     end
rescue EOFError
     fileIn.close
     fileOut.close
end

but now I am stuck. Should I use regex or how can I compare two string ?
