如何从中获取文本<p class="“" ”>使用 BeautifulSoup4 标记</p>

Question

I am scraping some webpages and trying to get simple text from all

<p> </p>

tags. In one particular instance I am encountering a 'p' tag with a class:

<p class="SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD "> Some text here. </p>

Now using a simple:

Text = soup.findAll("p")

Results in:

Text = SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD  Some text here.

How do I only get the text part excluding the class name in Text above.

I want a general solution which should be applicable in all situations whether there is a class within the 'p' tags or not.

I am using Python3, requests, and BeautifulSoup4 on Windows 10.

Answer 1

Try this:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

p = """<p class="SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD "> Some text here. </p>"""
print(BeautifulSoup(p, "html.parser").find("p").getText(strip=True))

Output:

Some text here.

Answer 2

In BeautifulSoup 4, findAll does not exist anymore (bs3) and is replaced by find_all

find_all gives a list so in your example you should access it with:

Text[0].string
