I just wanted to thank you for your script... it made things so much easier for me! Also, I found that the following regex worked better than the one you used, because I had the postnames appear instead of the comment ids (line 89 for those of you playing along at home): comments = re.findall(r'target="_blank">(.*?)</a><a href="editpost.php\?post\=(\d+)"', html) Hi einar!

But you have to realize that this will only put all the comments in a file on your hard disc, if you then want to import them into some other blogging system you'll have to do it yourself? Also, if Haloscan doesn't like this and closes your account, I cannot be held responsible. Use at your own risk!
