I am not a programmer by trade but I've been using Python for 10+ years, usually for text file conversion and protocol analysis. I'm having a problem with Beautiful Soup. I can get it to scrape off all the href links on a web page but I am having problems selecting specific URI's from the output supplied by Beautiful Soup. What exactly is it returning to me and what command would I use to find that out? Do I have to take each line it give me and put it into a list before I can, for example, get only certain URI's containing a certain string or use the results to get the web page that the URI is referring to?
The pseudo code for what I am trying to do: Get all URI's from web page that contain string "env.html" Open the web page it is referring to. Scrape selected information off of that page. I'm have problem with step #1. I can get all URI's but I can't see to get re.compile to work right. If I could get it to give me the URI only without tags or link description, that would be ideal. Thanks for your help. Steve Lyskawa
