How to parse a table with python regular expressions?

Question

Python

There is the following table:

HTML table

<tr>
          <td>99</td>
          <td>Name</td>
          <td>ЕГЭ</td>
          <td>268</td><td>90</td><td>91</td><td>87</td>
          <td></td>
          <td>Копия</td>
          <td>Нет</td>
        </tr>

I use the following regular expression to parse numbers:

re.findall(r'\d{3,3}\d{1,3}\d{1,3}\d{1,3}

You also need to parse the "Copy" field, the transition to a new line does not allow this, I tried it through

\s \n \t \r and \s

It didn't work out very well, how can this be done?

Answer 1

Well, as it were, regular expressions are far from the most suitable tool for this.

>>> import lxml.html
>>> str1 = """
... <tr>
...           <td>99</td>
...           <td>Name</td>
...           <td>ЕГЭ</td>
...           <td>268</td><td>90</td><td>91</td><td>87</td>
...           <td></td>
...           <td>Копия</td>
...           <td>Нет</td>
...         </tr>"""
>>> root = lxml.html.fromstring(str1)
>>> [x.text for x in root.xpath('.//td')]
['99', 'Name', 'ЕГЭ', '268', '90', '91', '87', None, 'Копия', 'Нет']
