I am not good with regex in coldfusion, Can anyone please guide me or give me any starting points as to how to extract the data from the html table using Coldfusion? I do not have access to the DB. Hope this is clear.

Parsing HTML using regex? You'll have more options if you use the jsoup HTML Parser w/ColdFusion. Jsoup uses jQuery-like DOM selectors and can quickly convert the HTML table data into arrays.
