is this XML, or just something that looks a little like XML ?
Unfortunately, something that looks a little XML so I can't use a XML
parser. But the HTML parser does the job.

Hi there,
in a text with no carriage returns I need to look for all occurancies of
this string:
source id=boxparameter key=path.../parameter/source
The ... can contain different values. I need to extract the string
between source id=boxparameter key=path and /parameter/source.

Try Beautiful Soup, or if your input is simple enough, the re module.

Hi Gabriel,
I first tried HTMLParser and wrote this short script:
from HTMLParser import HTMLParser
from htmlentitydefs import entitydefs
class MyDocParser(HTMLParser):
def __init__(self):
self.paths = []
This works as long as there are no other paramter Tags in the content
that I parse.
Got it.
I forgot to handle the 'attrs' parameter in handle_starttag().
Changed it to:
def handle_starttag(self, tag, attrs):
if tag == 'parameter':
if attrs == [('key',

Nico, perhaps this would be suitable:
s = '''Example text:
This is a test. link url=/www/folder target=_self title= A test.
source id=boxparameter key=path/www/mydoc1/parameter/source
And I need to extraxt /www/mydoc1 and /www/mydoc2 from this text.
source id=boxparameter
