How to extract texts between tags

Question

I want to extract texts from HTML page(s) which placed in p and li tags, so I can start to tokenize the page to construct inverted index(es) for ea

Answer 1

This can do the job

Elements e=doc.select("p"); 

Here is a list of all selectors you can use.

Suppose you have this html:

String html="
some bold text
";

To get some bold text as result you should use:

Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
Element p= doc.select("p").first();
String text = doc.body().text(); //some bold text

or

String text = p.text(); //some bold text

Suppose now you have the following complex html

String html="
some text
some other text
 another p tag
"

To get the values from the two p tags you have to do something like this

Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
Element content = doc.getElementById("someid");
Elements p= content.getElementsByTag("p");

String pConcatenated="";
for (Element x: p) {
  pConcatenated+= x.text();
}

System.out.println(pConcatenated);//sometext another p tag
