extract data...

i have a text file as such:

Quote:

---

|header|
|random name|

|start table|
|start row|a|end row|
|start row|b|end row|
|start row|c|end row|
|start row|d|end row|
|start row|e|end row|
|end table|

|whatever|

---

How can I first pull out only whats between |start table| and |end table|, and then how do I make a loop that will go through each row, so I Can make a list of the content of the rows



thanks,

Dimava

If the values for:

|header|
|start table|
|start row|
|end row|
|end table|

are unique, or have unique identifiers, or is something like an HTML tag, you can parse the string. What will be their values?
