# Recommendations Extractor
This solves a little problem of my own. If you have the same (or a very similar) problem, this may help you somewhat.
## My Little Problem
I use [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com) to send the URLs of media (podcasts, videos, articles, etc.) to an Evernote doc. Sifting through these ifttt-customised links is a mission, so I wanted a way to extract the original URL, the title, and a description from each URL.
I can export the Evernote file in HTML format. From there, this Python 3 code makes use of regular expressions, basic string/file processing, and the awesome [requests](https://github.com/requests/requests) library to extract the URLs and retrieve their information — writing the output to a .txt file of the user's choice.
## Example
Input
```html
via Pocket http://ift.tt/12iIegy
```
Intermediary
```

Output
