I am trying to sort through HTML tags and I can’t seem to get it right.

What I have done so far

import urllib
import re

s = raw_input('Enter URL: ')
f = urllib.urlopen(s) 
s = f.read() 
f.close 
r = re.compile('<TAG\b[^>]*>(.*?)</TAG>',)
result = re.findall(r, s)
print(result)

Where I replace “TAG” with tag I want to see.

Thanks in advance.

    An example from BS is this

    from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
doc = ['<html><head><title>Page title</title></head>',
       '<body><p id="firstpara" align="center">This is paragraph <b>one</b>.',
       '<p id="secondpara" align="blah">This is paragraph <b>two</b>.',
       '</html>']
soup = BeautifulSoup(''.join(doc))
soup.findAll('b')
[<b>one</b>, <b>two</b>]

    As for a regular expression, you can use

    aa = doc[0]
aa
'<html><head><title>Page title</title></head>'
pt = re.compile('(?<=<title>).*?(?=</title>)')
re.findall(pt,aa)
['Page title']
