How can I get the string between repeated DYNAMIC html tags in a string using javascript? (No regex unless its the only way!)

Question

As a mean to explain I am not posting the gigantic string I have (which contains dynamic html tags and are auto-generated with unique id). I want to get the text between every tag that says "<p class=partial_entry>... comment...</p>" using anything excep Regex , and in my case ill have a string of 20 repeated tags by getting the outerHTML. I have an example below:

var str = "<div class=prw_rup prw_reviews_text_summary_hsx data-prwidget-name=reviews_text_summary_hsx data-prwidget-init=handlers>
<div class=entry><p class=partial_entry>You have to try their special sushi rolls like acevichado or patrullero. They have great selections of sushi and other dishes.</p>
</div></div><div class=prw_rup prw_reviews_text_summary_hsx data-prwidget-name=reviews_text_summary_hsx data-prwidget-init=handlers><div class=entry><p class=partial_entry>
All you can eat sushi fir $20 ($24 including tax)! Christian, our server, was wonderful and attentive.
</p></div></div><div class=prw_rup prw_reviews_text_summary_hsx data-prwidget-name=reviews_text_summary_hsx data-prwidget-init=handlers>
<div class=entry><p class=partial_entry>The place was good, also the waiters, but definitely sushi is the best in town 
for my opinion, even with the few options of it in this place. I will be there soon again.</p></div></div>";

What I want is the 3 comments I have in my example so I use the code for 20:

- You have to try their special sushi rolls like acevichado or patrullero. They have great selections of sushi and other dishes.

- All you can eat sushi fir $20 ($24 including tax)! Christian, our server, was wonderful and attentive.

- The place was good, also the waiters, but definitely sushi is the best in town for my opinion, even with the few options of it in this place. I will be there soon again.

I tried making my own code but the text or tags in between are not taken off since it detects the tag I preset, example: "THE WHOLE STRING AFTER THE TAG IM LOOKING FOR + <p class=partial_entry>... comment...</p>" and I only want ...comment... part.

The code I made is below:

var temp = "<p class=partial_entry";
    var res = str.split('>');
    var res2 = res.indexOf(temp) + 1;
    var resultado = null;
    
     if (res2 < res.length && res2 != -1) {
         resultado = res[ res2 ]; // gets the next one
    }
    
    alert(resultado);

Answer 1

This is pretty trivial, assuming the comments will always be wrapped in a node with class partial_entry :

var commentNodes = document.getElementsByClassName('partial_entry');
var comments = [];
for (var i = 0; i < commentNodes.length; i++) {
  comments.push(commentNodes[i].innerText);
}

Answer 2

You could use a for loop that loops through every single character until it sees , then stores every character until it sees

It probably isn't the best way, and won't work if there's other tags inside the p. But it works.

 var text = "<p class=partial_entry>This text should show up</p>" var seenBeginTag = false; var seenEndTag = false; var output = []; for (var i = 0; i < text.length; i++) { if (seenBeginTag && seenEndTag) { if (text[i] == '<') { seenBeginTag = false; seenEndTag = false; } else { output.push(text[i]); } } else if (seenBeginTag) { if (text[i] == '>') { seenEndTag = true; } } else if (text[i] == '<') { if (text[i+1] == 'p') { seenBeginTag = true; } } } console.log(output.join(''));
