This code almost does what I need it to..
for line in all_lines: s = line.split('>') Except it removes all the '>' delimiters.
So,
<html><head> Turns into
['<html','<head'] Is there a way to use the split() method but keep the delimiter, instead of removing it?
With these results..
['<html>','<head>'] 4 Answers
d = ">" for line in all_lines: s = [e+d for e in line.split(d) if e] If you are parsing HTML with splits, you are most likely doing it wrong, except if you are writing a one-shot script aimed at a fixed and secure content file. If it is supposed to work on any HTML input, how will you handle something like <a title='growth > 8%' href='#something'>?
Anyway, the following works for me:
>>> import re >>> re.split('(<[^>]*>)', '<body><table><tr><td>')[1::2] ['<body>', '<table>', '<tr>', '<td>'] How about this:
import re s = '<html><head>' re.findall('[^>]+>', s) Just split it, then for each element in the array/list (apart from the last one) add a trailing ">" to it.
