I am working with beautiful soup. I have a html string:
ignore thisget this
How do I retrieve \"g
You can get the div text just not recursively retrieving the children texts:
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup('ignore thisget this')
>>> soup.div.find(text=True, recursive=False)
u'get this'
This works independently of the position of the text with respect of the children:
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup('get thisignore this')
>>> soup.div.find(text=True, recursive=False)
u'get this'
