#what i plan to do with it once i get the first part working
#results = re.findall('[<td style="font-weight:bold;" nowrap>$][0-9][0-9][0-9][.][0-9][0-9][</td></tr></tfoot></table>]',s)
#earnings = '$ '
#for money in results:
#earnings = earnings + money[1]+money[2]+money[3]+'.'+money[5]+money[6]
#print earnings
#raw_input()

this is the code that i have so far. now i have looked at all the other forums that give solutions such as the name of the script, which is parse_Money.py, and i have tried doing it with urllib.request.urlopen AND i have tried running it on python 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7. If anybody has any suggestions it would be really welcome, thanks everyone!! --Matt

---EDIT--- I also tried this code and it worked, so im thinking its some kind of syntax error, so if anybody with a sharp eye can point it out, i would be very appreciative.

for lines in filehandle.readlines():

    print lines
print 'The above has been saved in both a text and html file'

#close files
filehandle.close()
