How to extract some text?
I'm at a loss to figure out how to extract some text from a string. Here is a string: setTimeout(location.href='http://youtube.example.com/login.aspx', 5000); and I want to only retrieve the URL from above i.e I only want this http://youtube.example.com/login.aspx from the above string. Any ideas/ help is highly appreciated. Thanks, Oltmans -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If x is your string:
pos = x.find(') + 1
x[pos:x.find(', pos)]
'http://youtube.example.com/login.aspx'
Find the first single quote, then get the character range between that
and the next single quote.
