hi. i have a ton of html files from which i want to extract the plain english words, and then write those words into a single text file. example: <... all kinds html tags ...> this is text from the above, i want to extract the string 'this is text' and write it out to a text file. note that all of the html files have the same format, i.e. the text is always surrounded by the same html tags. also, i am sorting through thousands of html files, so whatever i do needs to be fast. any ideas? marc --- The apocalyptic vision of a criminally insane charismatic cult leader http://www.marcbuehler.net __ Yahoo!

[Tutor] how to alter list content
hi.
i create a list of all JPG files with:
>>> list = glob.glob('*.JPG')
the content of 'list' is now:
>>> print list
['DSC1.JPG', 'DSC2.JPG', 'DSC3.JPG']
but what i want is this type of list:
['DSC1', 'DSC2', 'DSC3']
i.e. the names w/o the file extension.
what's the easiest way of doing this?
