Need to find text with RegEx and BeautifulSoup

Question

I\'m trying to parse a website to pull out some data that is stored in the body such as this:

    INFORMATION
    Hookups: No         


        

Answer 1

BeautifulSoup's find_all only works with tags. You can actually use just a pure regex to get what you need assuming the HTML is this simple. Otherwise you can use find_all and then get the .text nodes.

re.findall("Hookups: (.*)", open('doc.html').read())

You can also search by tag content with the text property as of BeautifulSoup 4.2

soup.find_all(text=re.compile("Hookups:(.*)Group"));
