Removing new line '\n' from the output of python BeautifulSoup

Question

I am using python Beautiful soup to get the contents of:

     abc
     def         


        
      

Answer 1

Unless I'm missing something, just combine strip and list comprehension.

Code:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bsoup

ofile = open("test.html", "r")
soup = bsoup(ofile)

res = ",".join([a.get_text().strip() for a in soup.find("div", class_="path").find_all("a")])
print res

Result:

abc,def,ghi
