Deleting certain characters in text

[astrodad]

Hi folks.

After doing various other cleanup and extracts from some really bad
HTML, I am left with the following:

'); //-->

I tried using:

' Fix the leftover garbage from the poorly contructed JS'
garbagelines = cleanedup.findAll(text="'); //-->")
[garbage.extract() for garbage in garbagelines]

It doesn't seem to find anything. I'm sure it's something simple
related to those special characters, but I haven't figured it out. Can
you please help?

1) print cleanedup to a file before you do the fix, so you can look for random whitespace characters or other stuff.

2) Just for the heck of it, try a regular expression in your find.
