The problem is that your regex will also retrieve 9999999 in this html:

<td>NOT TRAFFIC LEFT:</td><td
align=right><b><script>document.write(setzeTT(""+Math.ceil(-9999999/1000)));</script>
MB</b></td>

and the op is trying to tell you that he doesn't want that number.

Parsing html with regex's is a bad strategy.
