You can use BeautifulSoup to parse the page. That will result in a BeautifulSoup object from which you can get the text of any element.
Simple example: soup = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(html_string) #find a div with class 'header3' containing the text 'Locations' location_header = soup.find('div', attrs = {'class': 'header3'}, text = 'Locations') #possibly suiting your purposes body = soup.find('body') body_length = len(body.text) Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
