for x in range(0,15,1):
try:
print "try1", ,j.contents
y=x*2
print y
print j.contents[y]

First of all, you have not used CODE tags, but I've fixed that. Your little numbering scheme doesn't work at all. Just paste the code surrounded by CODE tags. Instructions on on the right hand side of the page while posting or replying.

Secondly, you have not given us enough to go on. What should it do? What's in c that you are trying to iterate over? What does the object j look like? Etc., etc.

i am extracting data form a web page. under the heading "menu" it can have 0 item or as much as 15 ITEMs, separated by "<br>". this changes from time to time. so how do i extract the data.
i dont want to write the code 15 times for each ITEM and try for exception. that is why i tried to loop it but the list j does support an array like structure as in C++.
my code "print j.contents[y]" where y is a variable does not seem to work.

You still need to post more of the code in order for anyone to know what the heck you are trying to do. (See #2, above).
