i have some html which looks like this where i want to scrape out the href stuff (the www.cnn.com part)
<div class="noFood">Cheese</div> <div class="food">Blue</div> <a class="btn" href = "http://www.cnn.com";> so i wrote this code which scrapes it perfectly: for incident in row('div', {'class':'noFood'}): b = incident.findNextSibling('div', {'class': 'food'}) print b n = b.findNextSibling('a', {'class': 'btn'}) print n link = n['href'] + "','" problem is that sometimes the 2nd tag , the <div class="food"> tag , is sometimes called food, sometimes called drink. so sometimes it looks like this: <div class="noFood">Cheese</div> <div class="drink">Pepsi</div> <a class="btn" href = "http://www.cnn.com";> how do i alter my script to take into account the fact that i will sometimes have food and sometimes have drink as the class name? is there a way to say "look for food or drink" or a way to say "look for this incident and then find not the next sibling but the 2nd next sibling" if that makes any sense? thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
