Regex within html tags

Question

I would like to parse the HD price from the following snipper of HTML. I am only have fragments of the html code, so I cannot use an HTML parser for this.

Answer 1

You can still parse using BeautifulSoup, you don't need the full html:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html="""

  View In iTunes
 £19.99
 

    
HD Version
"""

soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
sp = soup.find(attrs={"class":"price"}) 
print sp.text[1:]
19.99
