Do you want something like this? In [1]: x = "something <td><b>something</b> else</td> and\nanother thing <td>in a td</td> and again else" In [2]: import re In [3]: r = re.compile('<td>(.*?)</td>', re.S) In [4]: r.findall(x) Out[4]: ['<b>something</b> else', 'in a td'] If not, you'll have to explain more clearly what you want.
