how can I fetch outer div text only with JSoup?

Question

I have the following html code:

<div class="description">
    <div class='daterange'>
        Hello 
     <span itemprop='startDate'>
        June 3, 2011
     </span>
    </div>
    This is some description <i>that</i> I want to fetch
 </div><br/>

and I want to extract only the part:

This is some description <i>that</i> I want to fetch

How can I do it with jsoup?

I tried using String description = doc.select("div.description").text() but then I'm getting all content that's inside.

Answer 1

what you need is creating a String which will hold the words of the html file. this is made by the following code, doc.body().text() is taking the text without all the html tags.

`public String getWords(String url) {
        String text = "";
        try {
            Document doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
            text = doc.body().text();
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
        }
        return text;
    }
`
