regex - Find string between two sets of string (python / urllib2 / beautiful soup) -

-

i have following source code of web page web trying parse data from

<span class="reviewcount"> <a href="...reviews-whatiwant-city..." target="_blank" onclick="xx;">1,361 reviews</a> </span>

edit (with beautiful soup):

to extract information parse data using beautiful soup. use following code:

spans = soup.findall('span', attrs={"class":u"reviewcount"}) span in spans: = span.find('a') print re.search('(?<=reviews-)(.*?)(?=-city)', a.get('href'))

but information

<_sre.sre_match object @ 0x7f84fce05300> <_sre.sre_match object @ 0x7f84fce05300> <_sre.sre_match object @ 0x7f84fce05300> <_sre.sre_match object @ 0x7f84fce05300>

and not bytes between "reviews-" , "-city". assist me in finding right syntax? thanks.

re.search() returns "match" object. need saving group value if there match:

spans = soup.find_all('span', attrs={"class":u"reviewcount"}) span in spans:     = span.find('a')     match = re.search(r'reviews\-(.*?)\-city', a.get('href'))     if match:         print(match.group(1))
