Great! As I said, that's a nice news group.

You can post frustration for sure. But saying "f*cking re module"
and than showing that your problem is not understanding the very
basics of regular expressions is not a nice way to ask for help.

  >>> re.match("<p>(.*)</p>", "<p>foobar</p>").group(1)
  'foobar'

That's very similar to your problem and looks quite clear and
simple, but you must understand what regular expressions are
about, of course.

Not upset at all. You just asked it the wrong way, and I was impressed
that even then there were lots of people to help you. That's not
usual in most places.

> But thank you for all your help about the re module,

In my opinion you would benefit from looking at some documentation
talking about regular expressions in general. After you understand
them, the re module will look f*cking simple. ;-)
