美丽的汤打印什么

Question

I'm trying to have beautiful soup pull info from a website and have it print just in the console. When it does it, its printing [] and i have no clue how to fix it.

soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source, "html.parser")
mlsspan = soup.find_all("td.d1m8")
print(mlsspan)

html being pulled

<td class="d1m8">
    <span class="d1m1">
        <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('m_DisplayCore','Redisplay|188,,0')">A11033427</a>
    </span>
</td>

I can't give the website because its password protected.

I'm trying to get the A11033427 from the <a> tag.

i've also tried

mlsspan = soup.find_all("td.d1m1")

Answer 1

Instead of .find_all use .select_one / .select . .find_all doesn't accept CSS selectors:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html_doc = """
<td class="d1m8">
    <span class="d1m1">
        <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('m_DisplayCore','Redisplay|188,,0')">A11033427</a>
    </span>
</td>
"""

soup = BeautifulSoup(html_doc, "html.parser")
print(soup.select_one("td.d1m8 a").text)

Prints:

A11033427
