Take a look at the code

I am currently scouring the internet for a solution like you mention to parse a html table to a flex grid. I would love to see yours. email: chris@clickonchris.com

And I have to wonder if this is the same Craig who posted to this mailing list: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders@yahoogroups.com/msg92856.html

row 1 column 1
row 1 column 2

row 2 column 1
row 2 column 2

I have used regular expression for filtering the required html table sections.

First i have used a regular expression to filter the tag. When that regex is applied to the string, the string will contain only the table information like the above one. This is the table expression to match the table tag from the rest of the html tags.

Once we parse out the table structure, now we can look for the Rows( tags ). Again we use a regular expression on the string obtained ( this time an expression to filter rows). Now we will get an array of tags. In this case an array of length 2. The length of the array is the number of rows in the table.

Now we have to loop through this array and again apply a regular expression to parse the tags . If we do that we will get an array conating the tds in that row. This contains the table data.

You can store these arrays in a nested structure and use that structure to populate the flex grid component.

I will try to post a code snippet next time so that you will get a better idea of what i am talking about
