Extract a word from a line of HTML

I have the following line from a html file.

src="https://www.com/seek-images/seek-icons/horoskop-*pluto.gif*" alt="" />*Pluto*</div>n

Using Python , regex, How do I extract Pluto (or any planet name here)..from the above line.

I tried regex with [w]+ and

match = re.search(regexeg, line)
if match:
        print "begin"
        print match.groups()
        for group in match.groups():
                print ('{} '.format(group))

the group is empty. I appreciate your help.

    You can use beautifulsoup to parse the html.

    First install beautiful soup :

    pip install beautifulsoup4

    Then parse the entire html and extract the text from the div element, something like this:

    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html_line = '<div> <img src="https://www.com/seek-images/seek-icons/horoskop-*pluto.gif*" alt="" />*Pluto*</div>n'

# Parse the HTML line with BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_line, 'html.parser')

# Find the div tag containing the planet name
div_tag = soup.find('div')

if div_tag:
    planet_name = div_tag.get_text(strip=True)
    print("Planet Name:", planet_name)
else:
    print("No div tag found.")

    As noted in comments, thou shalt not parse HTML with regexes.

    But if you really need to, here’s the simplest version for the string you’ve shown.

    >*([A-z]+)*<

    See it in action.

    It might very well be not specific enough for the whole HTML document, but for that you really need LXML or BeautifulSoup.
