retrieve links from web page using python and BeautifulSoup [closed]

Answer 1

To find all the links, we will in this example use the urllib2 module together with the re.module *One of the most powerful function in the re module is "re.findall()". While re.search() is used to find the first match for a pattern, re.findall() finds all the matches and returns them as a list of strings, with each string representing one match*

import urllib2

import re
#connect to a URL
website = urllib2.urlopen(url)

#read html code
html = website.read()

#use re.findall to get all the links
links = re.findall('"((http|ftp)s?://.*?)"', html)

print links
