Thanks. This will certainly keep me busy for a few days trying to digest what the code is doing.
Thanks again for your time.
Frank
You could also use the built functions.
#This would be the html page, but its too much for a simple example
s = """This is the html page your going to look through to find
numbers like Plan Allowance (MB)</td><td style="border-width:0px;"> 625</td>"""
#The string your looking for; always up to but not including the term your trying
#find.
planAllow = """Plan Allowance (MB)</td><td style="border-width:0px;"> """
#slice out the value your looking for using the index function
value = s[s.index(planAllow)+len(planAllow):s.index(planAllow)+len(planAllow)+3]
Adding the length to the index will leave out theconstant text, I.E. the text that never changes like html tags.
Adding the 3 at the end of the second index will add the three characters after the constant text giving us a slice of the value only. Assuming its a three digit number.
I would add a larger number like 4 or 5 and strip off the trailing tags from the number to ensure I get the entire value.
You could also use the built functions.
Hey all right. This did the job and it was simple enough that even this South Texas "hick" could understand it.
Thanks
Frank
Don't feel like a hick. I was born and raised in the redneck hills of WV. I've done IR tracking, face recognition, and developed a hat that quadriplegics can put on to use a computer; based on an accelerometer.
It doesn't depend on location; just how hard you work and willing to learn.
Anyway, sorry about the ramblings lol.

Hope I didn't offend anyone with my comment. It was totally directed towards myself. Any way here is the code I have come up with to this point. I am sure it can be improved.I someone cares to offer suggestions it would be great. I have yet to figure out how to strip the trailing tags.

In regular expressions \d+ means "one or more consecutive digits", so \d+:\d+:\d+)\D means "one or more consecutive digits followed by a colon followed by ... etc." and the \D represents any character that is not a digit. Only the portion matched by the pattern between the parentheses belongs to the group which gives you the data you want (hopefully).

d5e5 and tonyjv,
Thanks to both of you.Was working on two different scripts and neither one would work correctly. Now both of them work. Life is good.
If I wasn't almost 70 years old I would certainly go back to school and start over.:)
Frank
There was no offense taken lol. When I tell people where I'm from, their usually shocked that I'm smart enough to write code lol.
Anyway:
Seems like the problem has been solved.
I would have submitted this eairler; but this site had some down time. Anyone else notice this?
I added some comments at the top; good idea to keep it documented, even on personal projects.
I used strip to get rid of the trailing '<'.
That works as long as its always a three digit number your looking for.
You could replace it with a for loop:
planAllowance = ''
for i in pA:
if i == '<':
break
else:
planAlloance += iWhere pA is the data you sliced out.
Complete code w/out for loop:
#Plan stat update
#Written: aframe
#Date:
#Version:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import time
import os
from urllib import urlopen
while True:
print " "
print "Updating Plan Status........"
time.sleep(60)
os.system("clear")
myfile = open('t.html','r').read()#Change back to url address like you had before
s = myfile
#The string your looking for; always up to but not including the term your trying
#find.
planAllow = """Plan Allowance (MB)</td><td style="border-width:0px;"> """
allowRemain = """Allowance Remaining (MB)</td><td style="border-width:0px;">"""
percentRemain = """Allowance Remaining (%)</td><td style="border-width:0px;">"""
refillTime = """Time Until Allowance Refill</td><td style="border-width:0px;">"""
#slice out the value your looking for using the index function
planAllowance = s[s.index(planAllow)+len(planAllow):s.index(planAllow)+len(planAllow)+4]
allowanceRemain = s[s.index(allowRemain)+len(allowRemain):s.index(allowRemain)+len(allowRemain)+5]
percentRemaining = s[s.index(percentRemain)+len(percentRemain):s.index(percentRemain)+len(percentRemain)+4]
timeTorefill = s[s.index(refillTime)+len(refillTime):s.index(refillTime)+len(refillTime)+10]
print "Plan Allowance (MB): " + planAllowance.strip('<')
print "Allowance Remaining (MB): " + allowanceRemain.strip('<')
print "Percentage Remaining: " + percentRemaining+"%"
print "Time Untill Refill : " + timeTorefill.strip('<')
#break /*used for testing
hellboundhackers.org offer programming challenges that deal with webpages and parsing for data. That's where I learned most of theonline programming I know.
Yes, this site was down part of yesterday afternoon. Since this thread hasn't been marked solved yet, here's one more approach:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from HTMLParser import HTMLParser
class MyHTMLParser(HTMLParser):
labels = []
values = []
save_next = False
def handle_data(self, *args):
s, = args
if MyHTMLParser.save_next:
MyHTMLParser.values.append(s)
MyHTMLParser.save_next = False
if str(args).find("Allowance") > 0:
MyHTMLParser.labels.append(s)
MyHTMLParser.save_next = True
#Assign web page contents to htmlstring (Snipped from post to save space)
htmlstring = """<Please paste webpage content here>"""
h = MyHTMLParser()
h.feed(htmlstring)
h.close()
for i in range(1, 5):
print "%30s:%15s" % (h.labels[i], h.values[i]) d5e5

This is the code I finally came up with, thanks everyone for your help. This runs and outputs to a Tkinter window. The problem I am having now is with the while loop with sleep 60. It freezes the Tkinter window and I cannot do anythig with it while it is in sleep. Is there an alternate or better way to do the loop so it doen not freeze everything?

It couldn't hurt to read this short python fork example

Nice to see you doing progress.
By the way, did you see my function for picking up piece between separators, which I posted reacently?
I would use after in label you have and root.mainloop():

root.mainloop()Nice to see you doing progress.

I would use after in label you have and root.mainloop():
Wow! This works great!! Thanks.
How hard would it be to change the background color from green to red based on MB remaining in Allowance_Remaining?
Thanks for everyone's help.

Define global warning limit allowance_limit
Add this before label.after(..
listbox.config(bg = 'green' if Allowance_Remaining > allowance_limit else 'red')
listbox.update()This question has already been solved
