Searching a string and extract all occurancies of a substring

Hi there,

in a text with no carriage returns I need to look for all occurancies of this string:

<source id="box"><parameter key="path">...</parameter></source>

The ... can contain different values. I need to extract the string between <source id="box"><parameter key="path"> and </parameter></source>.

Example text:
This is a test. <link url="/www/folder" target="_self" title=""> A test. <source id="box"><parameter key="path">/www/mydoc1</parameter></source> And I need to extraxt /www/mydoc1 and /www/mydoc2 from this text.
<source id="box"><parameter key="path">/foo/bar/doc</parameter></source>

From this text I need to get a list with this:
["/www/mydoc1", "/foo/bar/doc"]

What's the best way to do this?


I'll need to use Python: 2.3.5

Thanks in advance,
Nico
