    <p><code>br.follow_link</code> takes either a <code>Link</code> object or a keyword arg (such as <code>nr=0</code>). </p> <p><code>br.links()</code> lists all the links.</p> <p><code>br.links(url_regex='...')</code> lists all the links whose urls matches the regex.</p> <p><code>br.links(text_regex='...')</code> lists all the links whose link text matches the regex.</p> <p><code>br.follow_link(nr=num)</code> follows the <code>num</code>th link on the page, with counting starting at 0. It returns a response object (the same kind what br.open(...) returns)</p> <p><code>br.find_link(url='...')</code> returns the <code>Link</code> object whose <code>url</code> exactly equals the given url.</p> <p><code>br.find_link</code>, <code>br.links</code>, <code>br.follow_link</code>, <code>br.click_link</code> all accept the same keywords. Run <code>help(br.find_link)</code> to see documentation on those keywords.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> If you have a target url that you wish to follow, you could do something like this:</p> <pre><code>import mechanize br = mechanize.Browser() response=br.open("http://www.example.com/") target_url='http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2606.txt' for link in br.links(): print(link) # Link(base_url='http://www.example.com/', url='http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2606.txt', text='RFC 2606', tag='a', attrs=[('href', 'http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2606.txt')]) print(link.url) # http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2606.txt if link.url == target_url: print('match found') # match found break br.follow_link(link) # link still holds the last value it had in the loop print(br.geturl()) # http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2606.txt </code></pre>

    1. CO@Rick: If you loop through `br.links()`, you can look at the string `link.url` to figure out if you want to follow it or not. No regex required.

    3. COI still can't figure out how to get a link to match, I am trying to use the regex as the full url but its not giving a match (when I do the for loop it never enters the loop implying it is not getting any matches)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
