I have a list of ten results that I would like to
extract from the source page to be used in my XML
connector. 

The scenario is this ( in a page of 10 entries) :

Entries 1,2,3,5,8,9,10 have normal statements.
Entries 4,6 and 7 have statements but with keywords
highlighted in bold.

I want to get all the statements in one go, but I'm
not sure what is the best regex for this scenario. I'm
using a Perl5 regex for this.

If I am to get normal statements, I would get this
regex:

TI: </td>(.*)\n([ \t]*)<td
valign="top"><a>(.[^>]*)</a></td>

For statements that have bold highlighted words, it
would be: 

TI: </td>(.*)\n([ \t]*)<td valign="top"><a>([^<]*)
<font
color="#990000">(<b>([^>]*)</b></font>([^>]*)</a>)

I want to get all the statements together, so i am
wondering what is the best regexp for this?

Thanks
