If I had this tag and wanted to return 123 how would I do it? I have
tried countless methods but can not get the only the 123 without the
<TD> tags

<TD class=tblform3 id=L_listing width=23>123</TD>

After 3 hours I am giving up and asking the experts.

<TD[^>]*>([^<]*)</TD>

Won't work if the included text has it's own tags.

I doubt whether regexps are the right tool for this job. (Personally, I doubt
whether they are ever the right tool for any job).

The specification didnt include nested tags.

Java is full of cool stuff that you have to rewrite if you
actually care.
