Okay. It works if I change:
fullink = reg4.search(str(cleanlink))
if fullink:
linkArray.append(cleanlink)
else:
cleanlink2 = str(website) + "/" + str(cleanlink)
to
fullink = reg4.search(cleanlink[0])
if fullink:
linkArray.append(cleanlink[0])
else:
cleanlink2 = str(website) + "/" + cleanlink[0]
so can anyone tell me why "cleanlink" gets coverted to a list? Is it
during the slicing?
Thanks.
