Converting HTML to CSV

Hi, I need to convert a relatively large html file (1.5megs) into CSV under Unix. How would I be able to do this?

Much thanks.

That depends on the format of the HTML file, what information, you want from it, etc..

Can you provide more information, please? Ideally, a sample of the HTML file, and of the desired output from that HTML

sorry i don't think i can provide a sample for various reasons but it's basically a table with 6 columns with many many rows. The html is nothing fancy, just a table with rows and rows of data. I need to convert it to CSV in order to view it under Excel. I was hoping there to be a simple linux command for this.
