Yes, I don't really know why I wrote \W when I obviously meant \s. Thanks
for correcting that.
Even better might be r'(\s*br.*?)+\s*' to get multiple runs of br tags.

Works for me. txt = an unfortunate br in the middle print txt.replace(br, ) an unfortunate in the middle Though I don't like the 2 spaces it gives ;) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Although I generally advise against overuse of regular expressions, this is
one situation where regular expressions might be useful: the situation is
simple enough not to warrant a parser, but apart from the whitespace a br
tag could have attributes or be written in xhtml style br /. Also judging
by the inconsistency between the OP's subject line and his original
question he doesn't seem sure whether the tag is br or BR or even Br.
import re
nobr = re.compile('\W*br.*?\W*', re.I)
nobr.sub(' ', an unfortunate br / in the middle)
'an unfortunate in the middle'
nobr.sub(' ', an unfortunate BR in the middle)
'an unfortunate in the middle'

i have some html that looks like this

i scrape out using this code:

strTitle += oText.strip()
Why concatening ?
strTitle = string.replace(strTitle,'br','')
Use strTitle.replace('br', '') instead. And BTW, hungarian notation is
evil, so:
for text in incident.fetchText(...):
title = text.strip().replace('br', '')
but it doesn't seem to remove the br

s = 'address style=color:#34 main,br Boston, MA/address'
s.replace('br', '')
'address style=color:#34 main, Boston, MA/address'
The problem is obviously not with str.replace(), as you could have
figured out by yourself very easily.
any ideas?
yes: post the minimal *running* code that exhibit the problem.
Your problem is probably elsewhere, and given some of previous posts
here ('problems writing tuple to log file' and 'indentation messing up
my tuple?'), I'd say that a programming101 course should be your first
move.

Re: how to remove BR using replace function?
I think you want to use the replace method of the string instance. Something like this will work: # See http://docs.python.org/lib/string-methods.html#l2h-196 txt = an unfortunate br in the middle txt = txt.replace(br, ) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
