    This document discusses extracting tabular data from an HTML file using regular expressions (REGEX) in Python. It provides an example HTML file with country names and languages in a table. The goal is to extract the country and language values between the first and sixth indices. The code opens the HTML file, finds the values using a REGEX pattern, and prints the expected output of a list of tuples with the country and language for each row.

    Project 2: Parsing data from a HTML file with Python

    and REGEX

    In this project we use REGEX to nd some values from a HTML le

    WE'LL COVER THE FOLLOWING

    • Solution

    In this project, we want to extract tabular information from a HTML file (see
    below). Our goal is to extract information available between and except the
    first numerical index ( 1..6 ).

    Consider the data.html file below:

    <html>
    <head>
    <style>
    table, th, td {
    border: 1px solid black;
    border-collapse: collapse;
    }
    th, td {
    padding: 5px;
    }
    th {
    text-align: left;
    }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <table style="width:100%">
    <tr align="center"><td>1</td> <td>England</td> <td>English</td></tr>
    <tr align="center"><td>2</td> <td>Japan</td> <td>Japanese</td></tr>
    <tr align="center"><td>3</td> <td>China</td> <td>Chinese</td></tr>
    <tr align="center"><td>4</td> <td>Middle-east</td> <td>Arabic</td></tr>
    <tr align="center"><td>5</td> <td>India</td> <td>Hindi</td></tr>
    <tr align="center"><td>6</td> <td>Thailand</td> <td>Thai</td></tr>
    </table>

    </body>
    </html>

    If we load the HTML file onto a browser it should look like below:

    A HTML file with table

    Solution #
    In this code, we first extract HTML data ( data.html ) and then find and extract
    the values from the HTML code.

    main.py

    data.html

    import re

    with open('data.html', 'r') as myfile:


    data=myfile.read().replace('\n', '')

    result=re.findall(r'<td>\w+</td>\s<td>(\w+)</td>\s<td>(\w+)</td>',data)
    print(result)

    Expected output :

    [('England', 'English'),
    ('Japan', 'Japanese'),
    ('China', 'Chinese'),
    ('India', 'Hindi'),
    ('Thailand', 'Thai')]
