Hello
I am trying to grab some numbers from a string containing HTML text.

You should use BeautifulSoup or perhaps regular expressions.
Or if you are not very smart, lik me, just try a brute force approach:
for i in s.split(''):
for e in i.split():
if '.' in e and e[0].isdigit():
print (e)
43.200
0.040
43.150
43.200
43.130
43.290
43.100

Thanks very much, I'm going to look at regular expressions but that
for your code, it shows me how I can do it iwth standard python :)

Re: Best Way to extract Numbers from String
Its an extremely bad idea to use regex for HTML. You want to change one tiny
little thing and you have to write the regex all over again. if its a
throwaway script, then go ahead.

Re: Best Way to extract Numbers from String
Regular expression are very powerful, and I use them a lot in my
paying job (unfortunately not with Python). You are however,
basically using a second programing language, which can be difficult
to master.
Does this give you the desired result?
import re
matches = re.findall('td([\d\.,]+)\s*/td', code)
for match in matches:
print match
resulting in this output:
43.150
43.200
43.130
43.290
43.100
7,450,447
