I'm aware that there are modules that fully simplify this function, but saying that I am running from
a base install of python (standard modules only), how would I extract the following:
I have
a list. This list is the contents, line by line, of
a webpage. Here is
a mock up list (unformatted)
for informative purposes:
<script>
link = "/scripts/playlists/1/" +
a.id + "/0-5417069212.asx";
<script>
"<a href="/apps/audio/?feedId=11065"><span class="px13">Eastern Metro Area Fire</span>"
From the above string, I need the following extracted. The feedId (11065), which is incidentally
a.id in the code above., "/scripts/playlists/1/" and "/0-5417069212.asx". Remembering that each of these lines is just contents from objects in
a list, how would I go about extracting that data?
Here is the full list:
contents = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?ctid=5586")
Pseudo:
from urllib2 import urlopen as getpage
page_contents = getpage("http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?ctid=5586")
feedID = % in (page_contents.search()
for "/apps/audio/?feedId=%")
titleID = % in (page_contents.search()
for "<span class="px13">%</span>")
playlistID = % in (page_contents.search()
for "link = "%" +
a.id + "*.asx";")
asxID = * in (page_contents.search()
for "link = "*" +
a.id + "%.asx";")
streamURL = "http://www.radioreference.com/" + playlistID + feedID + asxID + ".asx"
I plan to format it as such that streamURL should = :
http://www.radioreference.com/scripts/playlists/1/11065/0-5417067072.asx
