Take a look at htmllib and HTMLParser (two different modules) in the Python built-in library. In Python 3.x there is one called html.parser You can use this to parse out specific tags from HTML documents. If you want something more advanced, consider using XML. -- Harishankar (http://harishankar.org http://literaryforums.org) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
