How to Extract the key from unnecessary Html Wrapping in python

Question

The HTML page containing the key and some \n character .I need to use only key block i.e from -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- to -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- and after putting extracting key in a file can i pass it in any function....

Answer 1

in it's simpliest form

import re
clean = re.sub("</?[^\W].{0,10}?>|\n|\r\n", "", your_html) #remove tags and newlines
key = re.search(r'BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK.+?END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK', clean)

or if you don't need BEGIN PGP ... BLOCK and END PGP ... BLOCK:

key = re.search(r'BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----(.+?)----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK',clean)

is this what you're after? (I don't have python right here to check it, but I hope it's OK)
