How can I exclude a word by using re?

[could ildg]

Thank you, 
you code using pyparsing works very well. Now I got the "number" and
the "url". But I still want to get the "name".
I'll turn to pyparsing and see how to get the "name" from the html.
But I hope you can enlighten me for one more time since I'm not
farmiliar with the pyparsing module.
