Parse text / html saved in the database

Hi,

Can someone tell me the best way to parse the content, which is stored in a database using a WYSIWYG editor? 

Let's say, I have saved formatted text, which contains photos, lists, quotes, page break marker, etc. On the index page I need to extract one main photo and the first quote for each post. 

thanks
