How can I extract the text between a/a? [closed]

2024/11/16 17:47:43

I'm using Beautiful Soup, but couldn't figure out how to do it.

</td><td class="playbuttonCell"><a class="playbutton preview-track" href="/music/example" data-analytics-redirect="false"  ><img class="transparent_png play_icon" width="13" height="13" alt="Play" src="http://cdn.last.fm/flatness/preview/play_indicator.png" style="" /></a>    </td><td class="subjectCell" title="example, played 3 times"><div><a href="/music/example"   >here lies the text i need</a>

this isn't doing the job

print soup('a')for link in soup('a'):print html   

prints everything, what else can i try?

Answer
import urllib
from bs4 import BeautifulSouphtml = urllib.urlopen('http://www.last.fm/user/Jehl/charts?rangetype=overall&subtype=artists').read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
print soup('a')
# prints [<a href="/" id="lastfmLogo">Last.fm</a>, <a class="nav-link" href="/music">Music</a>....

For getting the text of each one of them.

for link in soup('a'):print link.get_text()
