BeautifulSoup (http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/) makes HTML parsing easy as pie, and sufficiently old versions seem to work with Jython. I just tested this with Jython 2.2a1 and BeautifulSoup 1.x: Jython 2.2a1 on java1.5.0_07 (JIT: null) Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup >>> soup = BeautifulSoup("""<input type="hidden" name="LastUpdated" value="1178658863"/>""") >>> print soup.first('input', {'name':'LastUpdated'}).get('value') 1178658863 Hope this helps, -- Carsten Haese http://informixdb.sourceforge.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
