Hello everyone. I'm having a problem when extracting data from HTML with regular expressions. This is the source code:
You are ready in the next<br /><span id="counter_jt_minutes" style="display: inline;"><span id="counter_jt_minutes_value">12</ span>M</span> <span id="counter_jt_seconds" style="display: inline;"><span id="counter_jt_seconds_value">48</span>S</span> And I need to get the remaining time. Until here, isn't a problem getting it, but if the remaining time is less than 60 seconds then the source becomes something like this: You are ready in the next<br /><span id="counter_jt_seconds" style="display: inline;"><span id="counter_jt_seconds_value">36</ span>S</span> I'm using this regular expression, but the minutes are always None... You are ready in the next.*?(?:>(\d+)</span>M</span>)?.*?(?:>(\d+)</ span>S</span>) If I remove the ? from the first group, then it will work, but if there are only seconds it won't work. I could resolve this problem in a couple of python lines, but I really would like to solve it with regular expressions. Thanks, Pedro Abranches -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
