Or if the problem is defined simply enough, you could use a regular expression (re module). BeautifulSoup is often recommended when the HTML is not necessarily very clean... Personally, I'd start with an re and move on from there only if that was for some reason not sufficient. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If I understand correctly you need something like PyMeld, ElementTree or BeautifulSoup Lorenzo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
