Oh right, 'class' is a reserved word. I imagine beautifulsoup has a workaround for that. > Now when I take out [ class="date"], this is returned: > [<span class="date">March 5, 2014</span>, <span class="date">March 5, 2014</span>] > > This is the code I am using: "data = soup.find_all(name="span") > print (data)" > 1. it returns today's date instead of the actual date > 2. returns it twice Are there two occurrences of '<span class="date">March 5, 2014</span>' in the HTML? If so, then beautifulsoup is doing its job correctly. It might help if you posted the sample HTML data you're working with. -- John Gordon Imagine what it must be like for a real medical doctor to gordon@panix.com watch 'House', or a real serial killer to watch 'Dexter'.
