     print(div)

And this gives me if he's online, I only wanna get the name, how could I do this?

Answer 1

div has two text node, you can access with .strings and use .stripped_strings to get clean data. then unpack the two node with name and online field.

In [50]:  for div in soup.findAll("div", class_="friendBlockContent", ):
    ...:      name, online = div.stripped_strings
    ...:     

In [51]: name
Out[51]: 'Bartdavy'

In [52]: online
Out[52]: 'Online'

Answer 2

A good way to achieve this:

for div in soup.findAll("div",class_="friendBlockContent", ):
    print(div.contents[0])

Answer 3

You can use the following code if you can make sure that the structure is similar to the one you posted:

for div in soup.findAll("div", class_="friendBlockContent", ):
     print(div.contents[0].strip())
