Outwit Hub - Markers and Lookahead maybe?

Question

Here is the code:

<div>23 Anywhere Ave<br />Someplace<br />Somewhere 1234</div>

I want to scrape the resulting three lines

23 Anywhere Ave<br />Someplace<br />Somewhere 1234</div>

into separate columns. I can scrape the first string (23 Anywhere Ave) by setting <div> as the front marker and <br /> as the back marker. Get stuck after that. I've tried setting the front marker as <div>(?=)<br />), /<div>(?=)<br />)/ (Outwit apparently require / / when making a regex statement), and <div>/(?=)/<br />)to get the second value but no luck.

I realise that regex is not suitable for parsing HTML, but this post indicates that it's OK in certain contexts within the Outwit architecture.

It appears previous correspondence on this question was deleted. Gave up and am now using Scrapy. Thanks for your interest anyway. — L Tyrone, Oct 23 '13 at 02:07

@Andrew Fogg - I now use import.io, it covers what I wanted to achieve in the OP — L Tyrone, Sep 24 '15 at 03:07
