Build a Stack Exchange Scraper

    My solution (Python):

    # Enter your code here. Read input from STDIN. Print output to STDOUT
import re
import sys

# txt1 = input() 
txt1 = sys.stdin.read()
matches1 = re.findall(
    r'<a href="\/questions\/(\d+)\/.+?\>+?([^<]+)(?:<\/a><\/h3>)',
    txt1,
    re.S
)
matches2 = re.findall(
    r'asked.?<(?:[^>])+>([^<]+)<',
    txt1,
    re.S
)
for i, j in zip(matches1, matches2):
    print(f"{i[0]};{i[1]};{j}")
