Beautiful Soup if Class “Contains” or Regex?

Question

If my class names are constantly different say for example:

listing-col-line-3-11 dpt 41
listing-col-block-1-22 dpt 41
listing-col-line-4-13 CWK 12
         


        

Answer 1

You could avoid regex by using partial matching with gazpacho...

Input:

html = """\
A
B
C
"""

Partial matching code:

from gazpacho import Soup

soup = Soup(html)
divs = soup.find("div", {"class": "listing-col-"}, partial=True)
[div.text for div in divs]

Output:

['A', 'B', 'C']
