Answer 1

Your question is unclear ^^

What call you "parsing"? ( I didn't see the difference in << I want to parse this string "863 - The Consummate Gentleman" from " 863 - The Consummate Gentleman " >> appart of the last space character )

What are exactly your right data? ( it seems that your 'html' var is assigned with a quote error )

What's the code context? ( do you get your working data from a real web page code, or did you produce some source code extract... )

Anyway, if you are parsing real web page, you should study the html.parser Python module:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/html.parser.html

... as the re module also, at least the findall() method, to know how handle you regex search result object :P

You should use Javascript for that. Learn how to use Regular Expressions (RE) in Javascript.
