how to remove text between [removed] and [removed] using python?

Question

how to remove text between using python?

Answer 1

You can do this with the HTMLParser module (complicated) or use regular expressions:

import re
content = "asdf  end"
x=re.search("", content, re.DOTALL)
span = x.span() # gives (5, 27)

stripped_content = content[:span[0]] + content[span[1]:]

EDIT: re.DOTALL, thanks to tgray
