Just use any HTML-parsing library. I think the standard Python HTMLParser will do the trick, provided there aren't any errors in the HTML. > Will this interfere with the usual "%" type escapes in URLs? No. Just think of it as an HTML attribute value; the fact that it's a URL is a question of later interpretation, nothing to do with the fact that it comes from an HTML attribute. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
