Hi all
I'm trying to parsing html with re module.
html = """
<TABLE BORDER=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>
<TR>
<TH nowrap>DATA1</TH><TH nowrap>DATA2</HT><TH nowrap>DATA3</
HT><TH>DATA4</TH>
</TR>
<TR><TD>DATA5</TD><TD>DATA6</TD><TD>DATA7</TD><TD>DATA8</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
"""
I want to get DATA1-8 from that string.(DATA maybe not english words.)
Can anyone tell me how to do it with regular expression in python?
Thank you very much.
# example1.py
# This example will print out more than what's in the HTML table. It
would also print
# out text between <body></body> tags, and so on.
import HTMLParser
class DataParser(HTMLParser.HTMLParser):
def handle_data (self, data):
data = data.strip()
if data:
print data
html = '''
<TABLE BORDER=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>
<TR>
<TH nowrap>DATA1</TH><TH nowrap>DATA2</HT><TH nowrap>DATA3</
HT><TH>DATA4</TH>
</TR>
<TR><TD>DATA5</TD><TD>DATA6</TD><TD>DATA7</TD><TD>DATA8</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
'''
parser = DataParser()
parser.feed(html)
parser.close()
example1.py output:
$ python example1.py
DATA1
DATA2

DATA4
DATA5
DATA6
DATA7
DATA8
# example2.py
# This example uses the re module to pull out only the table portions
of HTML. This
# should only print out data between <table></table> tags. Notice that
there is some
# data between the <body></body> tags that is not present in the
output.
