Accessing feeds in text format

[TheShortStack]

Morning all,

I seem to have got the habit of downloading feeds when the information is in XML (and to a lesser extent RSS!) format.

However, how do I go about it, if the poker room in question has just uploaded a figure in text format to a specific URL? How do I extract figure from a standard HTML page?

Can anyone help at all?

Thanks alot for your help!
