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

The current BeautifulSoup answers only show how to grab all tags. This is better:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

soup = """
        
 View In iTunes
 £19.99
 

    
HD Version
"""

for HD_Version in (tag for tag in soup('li') if tag.text.lower() == 'hd version'):
    price = HD_Version.parent.findPreviousSibling('span', attrs={'class':'price'}).text

In general, using regular expressions to parse an irregular language like HTML is asking for trouble. Stick with an established parser.
