You might give !ConvText a try. It's at https://riscos.sprie.nl/sprang.riscos/Downloads/ConvText.zipB

I have a lot of html tables which I want to convert and then, via
Fireworkz, use to produce draw files for use in Ovation Pro and
PrintPDF to eventually make a pdf booklet. The bit from fireworkz
onwards is tried and tested here and is fairly straightforward, the
table to csv bit less so. It looks like some fairly heavy duty
searching and replacing will be needed at first unless there is a
program somewhere which might help me; is there such a thing? I am
aware of some online stuff under Windows which might help but would
really like to do the whole job under RISC OS. Any thoughts
appreciated. Thanks B

BThanks for pointing out these programs, they are always useful.
Some time ago I worked on !Psifs and I used the SIBO to RISC OS converters (They are on Thomas Millius' site). Very convenient.
I just took them out and was able to do the conversion you asked for from
a csv file extracted from !Fireworks.
I have sent you an example to test at your address.
ThanksThanks for pointing out these programs, they are always useful.

Current versions of EasiWriter can load HTML - you won't get anyThat sounds promising
cascading style sheet formatting, but I've tested it on some pages with tables that I originally hand-crafted before uploading them to the host
site, and I can load them back into EasiWriter and select the 'Table'
region to save as a selection. EW exports tables as TSV, not CSV, but
I think most things that understand the latter also understand the
former; in the case of Fireworkz, it is perfectly possible to import tab-separated files into a document as tables provided that they are *filetyped* as CSV (&DFE).
So it depends how your HTML tables were originally created and how cleanI created the majority of these tables in lovingly hand crafted html back
the coding of them is, I suspect. If they genuinely are just tables of
data and not messed up with all sorts of layout stuff then you can load
the pages into EasiWriter, save the tables out as tab-separated text selections, and bulk-filetype those files as CSV in order to import them
into Fireworkz as tables and/or spreadsheet cells, depending on what you
want to do with them there.
Many thanks,Not only do I have a version which works as Harriet describes it does
I have EasiWriter here although whether it's the current version will be discovered in the morning.
Even better!

even better in that exporting as pdf is available in my version thus
cutting out a number of middle men.

Oh, I assumed you actually needed the data in Fireworkz for calculation purposes rather than layout....
The files I am converting are old Championship tables for a motor racing club. I can't remember how they were produced, presumably in a
spreadsheet, but all calculations were completed before creating the web tables. I no longer have the original files but am able to grab the
tables from the, soon to be closed, site. The club has asked if I can
grab all of the tables from 1996 to the present and produce an inclusive
pdf document. I have all the recent (post 2010) files here as Fireworkz
files from which I produce pdfs and HTML (Using Paul Vigay's Webworkz)
and the Fireworkz route for the old files suggested itself to me. The Easiwriter solution makes it all so much easier, thank you.

Even Netsurf does that...

But it uses spaces - not TABs!

I see I'm late to the party on this one (this is my 'annual' usenetI was reminded today that I'd let the webchange.co.uk domain go, and
catchup!) so you already have solutions suggested, but I may as well add
that WebChange (with the aid of a suitable script) can do this.
(Although I no longer have the script to hand that I was using at the
time, it's one of the things I used to do as a demo of the software).
The only flaw was that it would only be able to handle the first table
it encountered.
