Hi All, I have a long string which is an HTML file, I strip the HTML tags away and make a list with
text = re.split('<.*?>', HTML) I then tried to search for a string with text.index(...) but it was not found, printing HTML to a terminal I get what I expect, a block of tags and text, I split the HTML and print text and I get loads of \x00T\x00r\x00i\x00a\x00 ie I get \x00 breaking up every character. Any idea what is happening and how to get back to a list of ascii strings ? Cheers Dave -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
