Subject: Regexp Ruby selection

Hi folks,
I'm trying to code a ruby script that select the content of a HTML
table in a HTML page.
I used rubular to test my regexp syntax which is
/ <td class="TabIntCenContenuto"[^>]*>(.*)&nbsp; /
with rubular the result of my expression is :
Result 1
   1. 12345678
Result 2
   1. SAN FRANCESCO DA PAOLA
Result 3
   1. Via San Francesco Da Paola, 10
Result 4
   1. 10123
Result 5
   1. TORINO
etc....
But with my script :

File.open('D:/testt/1.txt', 'r') do |filein|

  while line = filein.gets
  p line if line =~  /<td class="TabIntCenContenuto"[^>]*>/ .. line
=~ /\/A&nbsp;/
  end
  fileout.puts p
 end
end

I got this result
"</td><td class=\"TabIntCenContenuto\">12345678&nbsp;\n"
"</td><td class=\"TabIntCenContenuto\">SAN FRANCESCO DA PAOLA&nbsp;</
td>\n"
"<td class=\"TabIntCenContenuto\">Via San Francesco Da Paola,
10&nbsp;</td>\n"
"<td class=\"TabIntCenContenuto\">10123&nbsp;</td>\n"
"<td class=\"TabIntCenContenuto\" align=\"left\">TORINO&nbsp;</td>\n"

I thought the .. between 2 "line =~" was like (...) in rubular which
let catch the content ??
Moreover I would like to transform this html code in XML. But I can"t
find an idea how to transform these HTML line in XML.
<root>
<number>12345678</number>
But there is no attribut 'name' or wathever in the <td> so making and
match/replace would be difficult ?
..

So, if someone can help me I would be very grateful.
Nice day ;)
