Anybody know of a good regex to parse html links from html code? The one I
am currently using seems to be cutting off the last letter of some links,
and returning links like

http://somesite.co

or http://somesite.ph

the code I am using is


regex = r'<a href=["|\']([^"|\']+)["|\']>'

page_text = urllib.urlopen('http://somesite.com')
page_text = page_text.read()

links = re.findall(regex, text, re.IGNORECASE)

Hello,

Anybody know of a good regex to parse html links from html code?

BeautifulSoup is *the* library to handle HTML

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
from urllib import urlopen

soup = BeautifulSoup(urlopen("http://python.org/"))
for a in soup("a"):
print a["href"]

HTH,

Can you post some example HTML sequences that this regexp is not handling
correctly?

Thanks for the reply, I found out the problem was occurring later on in the
script. The regexp works well.
