split string problems

Tempo

Hey. I am trying to grab the prices from the string below but I get a
few errors when I try to do it: Take a look at the code and error
messages below for me and thanks you in advanced to all that help.
Thank you. Here's the code & error messages:

>>p

[
$14.99
, 
$27.99
, 
$66.99
, 
$129.99
, 
$254.99
]

>>p.split()[2]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#11>", line 1, in -toplevel-
p.split()[2]
AttributeError: 'ResultSet' object has no attribute 'split'

try str(p).split()[2]

your class is using the __str__ attribute to print and I am guessing
that is what you are seeing.

Worked alright for me (see below). Are you sure "p" is a string ?

Cut and paste from interactive python shell:

>>p = """

.... [
.... $14.99
.... , 
.... $27.99
.... , 
.... $66.99
.... , 
.... $129.99
.... , 
.... $254.99
.... ]"""

>>p.split()

['[<span', 'class="sale">', '$14.99', ',', '<span',
'class="sale">', '$27.99', ',', '<span', 'class="sale">',
'$66.99', ',', '<span', 'class="sale">', '$129.99', ',',
'<span', 'class="sale">', '$254.99', ']']

>>p.split()[2]

'$14.99'

>>>

Regards,

John

The contents of p is rather "odd" looking. It isn't html that
was read from a website (note the commas after ). You
show it as if it is a list of strings, but the strings don't
have quotes around them. How are you creating the object p?
If you would just get it into a single string (with something
like:

x=urllib.urlopen(url)
p=x.read()

then you can use elementree, or beautiful soup to get your
prices quite easily.
