使用BeautifulSoup搜索具有某些属性但不固定属性值的标签

Question

I have the following HTML that I'm trying to search via beautifulsoup:

           <a href="/user_details?userid=**********">

The problem is I want to pull out all links with the above format, but the userid can change. How would I go about doing that?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Would something like

for link in soup.find_all('a'):
    link_href = link.get('href')
    if 'user_details' in link_href:
        # found match
        print link_href

do the trick?

We list all a (link) urls, search for the string 'user_details' in each link, if it's found - do work with the link. If user_details matches something else, you could change it to something else.
