Using the magic wizard program Pandoc, I just had success with a simple little example: 

    pandoc -o test.org test.html

Input test.html:
    <html>
      <body>
          <strong>TEST strong!</strong>
        <div class='table'>
          <div class='cell'>Cell 1</div>
          <div class='cell'>Cell 2</div>
          <div class='cell'>Cell 3</div>
          <div class='cell'>Cell 4</div>
        </div>
      </body>
    </html>

Output test.org:
    *TEST strong!*
    Cell 1
    Cell 2
    Cell 3
    Cell 4

I'm not sure how sophisticated the strings you are dealing with, but pandoc might do the trick for you.
