Arevos, you sir, are great at what you do. Adding in "q?s" solved the ticker problem. However, I took out sys.exit and it's exiting after the first industry.

Now, to compound the difficulty slightly, is there a way to designate any company with a "q?s"... as public, if you remember in the original spreadsheet, there was a column that was labelled public, where I would simply write "yes" if a company was public.

Could we do something like:

(Toggle Plain Text)

for all "q?s" in a['href'] print "yes\n"

would something like that work, and would we be able to put it in it's own cell when embedding the HTML?

also, I fetched the company name from the webpage title (in <title> tags)
so I need a way to make it so that when I return it I'm not returning the title tags but the actual text, otherwise when I embed it in HTML it's not going to display the company name.

okay I figured out how to do the company name, I used regex as if it were a piece of data rather than searching for a tag.
