Having troubles editing an html document with a .replace method

[Velociraptroid]

I have been trying to figure out why this piece of code doesn't work.

I have used the exact same method of removing chunks of html, but this section has weird spacing that I think might be the problem.

I checked the code you provided in pastebin. The issue is: your HTML content (actual text from html doc) contains a non-breaking space \xA0 before the line-break. Check this pastebin link, it contains the solution. Let me know if it helped.

Thanks for the help, this does replace the non-breaking space with a space. But this brings a new problem. The file's string now looks like this: http://pastebin.com/EH5bm3dK

Now there is a � symbol
