    copied!<p>Perhaps I misunderstand your question, but you are merely looking for <a href="http://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html#re.findall" rel="nofollow">findall</a>?</p> <pre><code>match3 = re.findall(r'&lt;div class="wx-temperature"&gt;\w\w',f) </code></pre> <p>Also, you might find it easier to use <a href="http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/" rel="nofollow">BeautifulSoup</a> or something along those lines. Parsing html with regexes is hellish. Further, you might as well not reinvent the wheel, since python has hundreds of well-built modules that have already done a lot of work for you. You could do the following after installing bs4:</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; from bs4 import BeautifulSoup &gt;&gt;&gt; html = '''&lt;div class="wx-timepart-title"&gt; Earlier Today &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="wx-timepart-title"&gt;Tonight&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="wx-data-part wx-first"&gt; &lt;img src="http://s.imwx.com/v.20120328.084208/img/wxicon/120/29.png" height="120" width="120" alt="Partly Cloudy" class="wx-weather-icon"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="wx-data-part"&gt; &lt;img src="http://s.imwx.com/v.20120328.084208/img/wxicon/120/30.png" height="120" width="120" alt="Partly Cloudy" class="wx-weather-icon"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="wx-data-part"&gt; &lt;img src="http://s.imwx.com/v.20120328.084208/img/wxicon/120/29.png" height="120" width="120" alt="Partly Cloudy" class="wx-weather-icon"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="wx-data-part wx-first"&gt; &lt;div class="wx-temperature"&gt;&lt;span itemprop="temperature-fahrenheit"&gt;89&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="wx-degrees"&gt;&amp;deg;&lt;span class="wx-unit"&gt;F&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="wx-temperature-label"&gt;FEELS LIKE &lt;span itemprop="feels-like-temperature-fahrenheit"&gt;94&lt;/span&gt;&amp;deg;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="wx-data-part"&gt; &lt;div class="wx-temperature"&gt;96&lt;span class="wx-degrees"&gt;&amp;deg;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="wx-temperature-label"&gt;HIGH AT 4:45 PM&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="wx-data-part"&gt; &lt;div class="wx-temperature"&gt;80&lt;span class="wx-degrees"&gt;&amp;deg;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="wx-temperature-label"&gt;LOW&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; ''' &gt;&gt;&gt; soup = BeautifulSoup(html) &gt;&gt;&gt; for temp in soup.find_all(class_="wx-temperature"): print(temp.text) # or add these to a list or make a list comprehension 89°F 96° 80° </code></pre> <p>If you merely want the digits (and possibly a negative), you can do this:</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import re &gt;&gt;&gt; for temp in soup.find_all(class_="wx-temperature"): print(re.match(r'-?\d+', temp.text).group()) 89 96 80 </code></pre> <p>This approach would give you some flexibility in case the weather ever drops to one digit or goes up to three digits. I added the <code>-?</code>, which means 0 or 1 occurrences of the character <code>-</code>, in case you run across negative temps.</p>
