I open a website with urlopen. I then put the website sourcecode into a variable like so
source = website.read()
When I just print the source it comes out formatted correctly, however when I try to iterate through each line each character is it's own line.
for example
when I just print it looks like this
<HTML> title</html>
When I do this
for line in source:
print line
it looks like this
<
H
T
M
L
... etc
I need to find a string that starts with "var" and then print that entire line.
