如何在for循环中限制一个特定表行中的字符（Python / BeautifulSoup）

Question

In the table I'm scraping, the 2nd row is very long and I'd like to simply limit the characters that are in it since I only want the information that is at the beginning of the string. I want to scrape the other rows as they are. So my code is as follows:

table = soup.find(id="table3")
    table_rows = table.findAll('tr')

    for tr in table_rows:
        td = tr.findAll('td')
        row = [i.text.strip() for i in td]
        print(row)

How can I only target the second row?

The output specifically looks like:

["Computer price for Apple Inc. ,\n\n\nType\nForward\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBack\n\n\n\n\nDie\n\r\n...  

So I only want to grap the Computer price for Apple Inc. part, maybe there is a better way than just using character limit as a heuristic. Is it possible to specify it to grab everything before ,\\n\\n\\n

Answer 1

You can use split function to separate text line. I have used ",\\n\\n\\n" as a separator:

>>> row = 'Computer price for Apple Inc. ,\n\n\nType\nForward\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBack\n\n\n\n\nDie\n\r\n'
>>> row.split(sep=",\n\n\n", maxsplit=1)[0]
'Computer price for Apple Inc. ,'
