之后提取第二个元素<br/>

Question

I want to extract United States from the following:

address = '1 McDonalds Dr<br/>OAK BROOK, IL 60523-1911<br/>United States'

I tried:

for br in address.find_all('br', limit=2):
    result = br.next_sibling
    print(result)

And it returned:

OAK BROOK, IL 60523-1911
United States

How do you extract only United States from it? Thanks.

Answer 1

You are almost there!

for br in address.find_all('br', limit=2):
    result = br.next_sibling
    print(result)

This loops over all <br> tags and then executes the loop body for each. Since your address contains two <br> tags, you will get two results. Since you only want to get the result from the second result, you will simply have to not loop over it but access the second element directly:

second_br = address.find_all('br', limit=2)[1]
result = second_br.next_sibling
print(result) # United States

Answer 2

You can use the .contents property of bs4. If you check the contents of address you'll see that the text you want is in the last index. You can access it by using contents[-1] .

>>> address.contents
["1 McDonalds Dr", <br/>, 'OAK BROOK, IL 60523-1911', <br/>, "United States"]
>>> result = address.contents[-1]
>>> result
"United States"
