findAll函数BeautifulSoup

Question

I have been trying to parse text elements stored in between <td> tags, for example:

<tr>
<td>Trading Hours</td>
<td><b>Monday</b> <br />
London - 23:00 Sunday - 23:00 Monday<br />
New York - 18:00 Sunday - 18:00 Monday<br />
Chicago - 17:00 Sunday - 17:00 Monday<br />
<br />
<b>Tuesday-Friday</b> <br />
London - 01:00 - 23:00<br />
New York - 20:00 - 18:00<br />
Chicago - 19:00 - 17:00<br />
</td>
</tr>

In this simple example, there only 2 <td> tags and suppose a variable tr stores entire block of html code. My logic for extracting text is as follow (without any <tr> or <br> tags):

for td in tr.findAll('td'):
    row.append((td.find('td', text = True)).strip().strip('\n'))

Problem: My for loop recognizes the first <td> tag, but not the second. How can I improve this?

Answer 1

text=True tells BeautifulSoup to look for elements with text. If you want to get the text, you need to use .get_text() :

td.find('td', text=True).get_text(strip=True)
