Strip HTML tags?

[Fazer]

Hello,

I was wondering what would be the easiest way to strip away HTML tags from a string?

Or how would I remove everything between < and > also the < , > as well using regex?

Thanks for any help!

You could use the SGMLparser for that also. Check the Python Cookbook at
ASPN ( http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/ ) for a recipe
that uses it (

for htmllib and sgmllib examples, see chapter 5 here:

http://effbot.org/zone/librarybook-index.htm

and the "syndication tweaks" entry on this page:

http://online.effbot.org/2003_08_01_...e.htm#20030811

for a RE-based solution, see:

You don't want to use regex for this. regex is only for very simple
things readable. Use the HTML parser and concatenate the text you get
from there.

Thanks! The recipe works out fine! The problem is that I saved the
class in a file and I want it to be included in my other script. How
can that be done? My other script is in the same directory as the
class and doing import <name of class> doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You should import <filename minus .py*>

Thanks for the responce! I put the class and the final function in a
tags.py file. I make another script and do : "import tags"
It works, but when I try to make a new class instance, it can't seem
to find it.

There are two ways to import modules, "import module" and "from module
import *". The latter is seldom recommended.

By doing a "import module", anything inside the module must be called
like this:

### begin example
import sys

sys.exit(0)
### end example

When you do a import tags, everything inside tags must be called
tags.CLASS .

HTH,
