if I have a string such as '<td>01/12/2011</td>' and i want to reformat it as '20110112', how do i pull out the components of the string and reformat them into a YYYYDDMM format?
I have:
import re
test = re.compile('\d\d\/')
f = open('test.html') # This file contains the html dates
for line in f:
if test.search(line):
# I need to pull the date components here
