Need a formatter for scraper

[Truth.]

The text I scrape contains html tags, UTF8 chars, and symbols like & # 3 9 ; (i put spaces between)

I want to save it to DB properly, can you recommend a formatter function/class?

Google it. You sure haven't provided enough info here.

Not sure I understand the question. You need to know how to escape strings in your language of choice, or?

 

[skank]

You can either do it in the language you are using using substrings or you might be able to do it in Excel

 

[Oloty]

Python + BeautifulSoup.

HTML parsers handle these issues for you.

Google "html parser <language>" or "scrape html <language>".
