Frederic, Good points... I have a plain text file containing the html and words that I want removed(keywords) from the html file, after processing the html file it would save it as a plain text file.
So the program would import the keywords, remove them from the html file and save the html file as something.txt. I would post the data but it's secret. I can post an example: index.html (html page) " <div><p><em>"Python has been an important part of Google since the beginning, and remains so as the system grows and evolves. "</em></p> <p>-- Peter Norvig, <a class="reference" " replace.txt (keywords) " <div id="quote" class="homepage-box"> <div><p><em>" "</em></p> <p>-- Peter Norvig, <a class="reference" " something.txt(file after editing) " Python has been an important part of Google since the beginning, and remains so as the system grows and evolves. " Larry, I've looked into using BeatifulSoup but came to the conculsion that my idea would work better in the end. Thanks for the help.
