Re: [Tutor] How do I make pattern to find only '.html' file using Python Regular Expression?

In the case of parsing HTML, regular expressions are a poor fit http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags/1732454#1732454> because they're not doing the job of parsing.

You can try, but regular expressions are not a reliable way to parse HTML. You are much better to use a dedicated HTML parser such as the one found in htmllib in the standard library or a third party tool like BeautifulSoup. These recognise the different tag types and separate the content and data for you. You can then just ask for the parser to find tags and then fetch the data from each tag.
