URL Looping Problem

gsmtts

Hi,

I am very new to Python, but I have lots of experience with Stata and other statistical software. I am trying to create a database that pulls information from the International Trade Commission (ITC) website. Essentially, I want to know all the details they have of every patent infringement ITC case ever. I have wrote this VERY SIMPLE (at least I think it is) python script that will get all the data I want off of 1 page. The problem is, each case is one page.

This link http://info.usitc.gov/ouii/public/337in ... l?OpenView shows all the cases the ITC has had (over 770 of them). Clicking on each specific case brings up a URL like this one... http://info.usitc.gov/ouii/public/337in ... enDocument.

The code I wrote uses this one URL, but I want it to include all URLS and make a different observation for each one. The only difference in each URL is a series of letters and numbers in the middle. I have made those bold on two separate case links below for illustration:

http://info.usitc.gov/ouii/public/337inv.nsf/56ff5fbca63b069e852565460078c0a[b]e/2f6aea0c070b20e3852578930070cf1f[/b]?OpenDocument

http://info.usitc.gov/ouii/public/337inv.nsf/56ff5fbca63b069e852565460078c0ae/[b]4878841e49b2ec2d8525770a00704997[/b]?OpenDocument

OK, so if anyone can help me I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it.

I have attached my script.

FYI: I made this script by copying a lot of it from someone who ripped data off of a basketball stats website and just replaced terms, so that is why you see words like stats and such. I could not tell you the meaning of any of it because I am so new to this.

THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!
