webread is not getting all text on a website

Hi all,

I am trying to build a program to get the plain text from a website. The issue I am encountering is that webread does not seem to be collecting all of the text on the site (specifically, the table; see website below). I see my options are twofold:

1. query a third-party html-to-plain text website that can do a better job
2. determine if there is a workaround that catches more text than the webread method I am using now

here is my code:

html = webread('https://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=MXWL');
txt = regexprep(html,'<script.*?/script>','');
saveTXT(txt,'htmlplaintext');

help is greatly appreciated; I love you guys!

Will
