scraping data hurdles with coldfusion - coldfusion

Question

I am working on a scraping and i need to extract the informaion of the websites, basically it is giving link to inside pages
Here is my Small try with scraping, i am able to get the names of the states but i need to go deeper now as i admit, i am very bad at regular expressions
Please guide. here is my code
<cfscript>
function stripHTML(str) {
str = reReplaceNoCase(str, "<*style.*?>(.*?)</style>","","all");
str = reReplaceNoCase(str, "<*script.*?>(.*?)</script>","","all");
str = reReplaceNoCase(str, "<.*?>","","all");
str = reReplaceNoCase(str, "^.*?>","");
str = reReplaceNoCase(str, "<.*$","");
return trim(str);
}
</cfscript>
<cfset start = false>
<cfhttp url="http://www.mapsofindia.com/pincode/" method="get"></cfhttp>
<cfset status = cfhttp.Statuscode>
<cfif status IS '200 OK'>
<cfset start = true>
</cfif>
<cfif start>
<cfset string = cfhttp.filecontent />
<cfset StartText = '<table cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 align="center" border="0" class=extrtable width="90%">' />
<cfset Start = FindNoCase(StartText, string, 1) />
<cfset EndText='<td style="width:50%"> </td></tr></table><br /><br />' />
<cfset Length=Len(StartText) />
<cfset End = FindNoCase(EndText, string, Start) />
<cfset parse = Mid(string, Start+Length, End-Start-Length) />
<cfset parse = Insert('+',parse,FindNoCase("</a>", parse))>
<cfset parse = trim(parse) />
<cfset dbData = stripHTML(ListQualify(parse,'+'))>
<cfloop list="#createLst#" index="k" delimiters="+">
<cfquery name="insert_data" datasource="#request.dsn#">
INSERT INTO cw_states(state,countrycode,country)
VALUES('#k#','IN','India')
</cfquery>
</cfloop>
<table align="center">
<cfoutput>#parse#<br></cfoutput>
</tr>
</table>
</cfif>
This is listing the cfoutput on page correctly, but i am unable to insert into the database.
Question #2: The link is taking to another page which lists the cities of the state, i want to append my page like index2.cfm?url=#link# which will extract the cities and insert the cities in my cities table and again on the link it should be like index3.cfm?url=#link# which will open another page of zip and insert those zip names in the database
Please guide
