#Extracting Html code from the URL
with urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.apecbraking.co.uk/catalogue/frictionParts/range/783854") as url:

#HTML Code *

soup = BeautifulSoup(D)     
Table = (soup.table)

#Creates 'APEC.csv'

print('Written')                          


# Set the Data into a list so it can be refered back to later on e.g searching for only words with certain letter
# from there they can be seperated from one list into categories (Variables)

newRow = []

Answer 1

try using

with open('yourfile') as f:
    new_list = [row for row in f if row.startswith('A')]

Answer 2

Your newRow has type list . That has no method associated with this type. You can get list of all available methods for this type by typing help(list) in python console.

Answer 3

You need to import the regular expression library

import re

OR just try this snippet of code

print([item for item in newRow if item[0]=='A'])
