Hello All, I am a total python newbie, and I need help writing a script.
This is what I want to do: There is a list of links at http://www.rentalhq.com/fulllist.asp. Each link goes to a page like, http://www.rentalhq.com/store.asp?id=907%2F272%2D4425, that contains a company name, address, phone, and fax. I want extract each page, parse this information, and export it to a comma delimited text file, or tab delimited. The important information in each page is: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" id="AutoNumber1"> <tr> <td width="100%" colspan="2"> <h2 style="text-align: center; margin-top:2; margin-bottom:2; line-height:14px" class="title"> <font size="4">United Rentals Inc.</font> </h2> <h3 style="text-align: center; margin-top:4; margin-bottom:4">3401 Commercial Dr. Anchorage AK, 99501-3024 </h3> <p style="text-align: center; margin-top:4; margin-bottom:4"> <a target="_blank" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=3401+Commercial+Dr%2E Anchorage AK 99501-3024 "> <!-- <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?city=Anchorage&state=AK&address=3401+Commercial+Dr.&zip=99501-3024&country=&zoom=8";>--> <img height="15" src="Scraps/Rental_Images/map.gif" width="33" border="0"></a> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%" valign="top"> <p style="text-align: center; line-height:100%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"> </p> <p style="text-align: center; line-height: 100%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"> <b>Phone</b> - 907/272-4425<br> <b>Fax</b> - 907/272-9683 </p> So from that I want output like : United Rentals Inc.,3401 Commercial Dr.,Anchorage,AK,"995013024","9072724425","9072729683" or United Rentals Inc. 3401 Commercial Dr. Anchorage AK 995013024 9072724425 9072729683 I have been messing around with beautiful soup (http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/index.html) but haven't gotten very far. (specially because the html is so sloppy) Any help would be really appreciated! Just point me in the right direction, what to use, examples... Thanks! -Sam -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
