如何在 Python 中找到带有正则表达式的字符串

Question

I have html string like that for example

<td align="left" nowrap="nowrap">John 23</td>

I want to find "John 23" between '<td align="left" nowrap="nowrap">' and '</td>'

I want to find with Regular Expressions in python

How can I do it?

Answer 1

Use BeautifulSoup to parse HTML. Regex is the wrong tool; it works fine for this example but wouldn't scale well to a full document.

>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>> html = '<td align="left" nowrap="nowrap">John 23</td>'
>>> BeautifulSoup(html).find("td").text
'John 23'
