  • 0

I have parsed a html document in python and i am storing the contents of the body tag in a list. Below is the code:

import urllib, re
text = urllib.urlopen("http://fiji4.ccs.neu.edu/~zerg/lemurcgi/lemur.cgi?d=0&g=p&v=algorithm&v=javed").read()
data = re.compile(r'.*?<BODY>(.*?)<HR>', re.DOTALL).match(text).group(1)
print data

the output of the following is:

        6          3
    12603        235          1
    37210        363          3
    64618        348          2
        4          4
    80073        560          1
    80560        504          1
    80875        807          1
    80917        636          1

I want to store each new line in a new list.
Need help in doing this. I am new to python.
Thanks,
ghbhatt.

data = """6          3

    80917        636          1"""

lists = [line.split() for line in data.split("\n")]

print lists

    Edit: data.splitlines() is probably more portable than data.split("\n").
