Worked alright for me (see below). Are you sure "p" is a string ? Cut and paste from interactive python shell: >>> p = """ ... [<span class="sale"> ... $14.99 ... </span>, <span class="sale"> ... $27.99 ... </span>, <span class="sale"> ... $66.99 ... </span>, <span class="sale"> ... $129.99 ... </span>, <span class="sale"> ... $254.99 ... </span>]""" >>> p.split() ['[<span', 'class="sale">', '$14.99', '</span>,', '<span', 'class="sale">', '$27.99', '</span>,', '<span', 'class="sale">', '$66.99', '</span>,', '<span', 'class="sale">', '$129.99', '</span>,', '<span', 'class="sale">', '$254.99', '</span>]'] >>> p.split()[2] '$14.99' >>> Regards, John -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
