How to replace links with anchors in html (python)?
for example input:
<p> Hello <a href="http://example.com">link text1</a> and <a href="http://example.com">link text2</a> ! </p> i want at result with saved p tag (just a tag remove):
<p> Hello link text1 and link text2 ! </p> You could do this with a simple regex and the sub function:
import re text = '<p> Hello <a href="http://example.com">link text1</a> and <a href="http://example.com">link text2</a> ! </p>' pattern =r'<(a|/a).*?>' result = re.sub(pattern , "", text) print result '<p> Hello link text1 and link text2 ! </p>' This code replaces all occuring <a..> and </a> tags with an empty string.
Looks like a perfect case for BeautifulSoup's unwrap() method:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup data = '''<p> Hello <a href="http://example.com">link text1</a> and <a href="http://example.com">link text2</a> ! </p>''' soup = BeautifulSoup(data) p_tag = soup.find('p') for _ in p_tag.find_all('a'): p_tag.a.unwrap() print p_tag This gives:
<p> Hello link text1 and link text2 ! </p> You can use Parser Library for it.. like BeautifulSoup and other also. I am not sure for it, but you can get something here
