Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

Why not just do a replace on the string

html.replace("AAAAAA", "Put what you want for AAAAAA here")

and do this for all of the things you want to replace?

Ignore, I miss read the question completely my brain must not be on today

Er, the OP isn't trying to replace things, they're trying to get the values located in certain places. They manually put in the letter strings in their HTML code as *examples* of what they want to pull out.

I guess that is what the OP wanted, cool

Answer 3

A:

Something like this works on a basic table:

soup = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(YOUR_HTML)
table = soup.find('TABLE_ID')
for td in table.findAll('td'):
    print td.string

but it looks like the html you are dealing with is a bit messier. SO maybe it would be best to go after each of the TDs by class name? e.g.

soup = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(YOUR_HTML)

#game date
game_dates = soup.findAll('td', {class: 'gamedate' })
for game_date in game_dates:
    print game_date

#bets
bets = soup.findAll('td', {class: 'bet' })
for bet in bets:
    print bet
