hello,
i have this code
>>> import re
>>> import BeautifulSoup
>>> matcher = re.compile(r"""<p><label><strong>Origine :<\/strong><\/label>(.*)<\/p>""")
>>> mystring = """ <p> <label class="garanties_adm"> <strong>Les garanties :</strong></label> <img src="/images/adm/icon-garantie-fairtrade-ab.png" /> </p> <label class="garanties_adm"> <strong>Les garanties :</strong></label> <img src="/images/adm/icon-garantie-fairtrade-ab.png" /> <p> <label><strong>Origine :</strong></label> Burkina Faso, Cercle des Sécheurs </p> <label><strong>Origine :</strong></label> Burkina Faso, Cercle des Sécheurs <p> </p> <p><a href="/product/670/">Ajouter à ma liste d'envies</a></p> """
I can print the text out but I am unsure how to check for the pattern
as I would like to check if pattern exists and then extract the
Country and Producer - in this case: Burkina Faso and Cercle des
Sécheurs
if i try:
>>> for txt in soup.findAll(text=True):
... print type(txt)
...
<class 'BeautifulSoup.NavigableString'>
>>> for txt in soup.findAll(text=True):
... matches = matcher.match(txt)
... if matches:
... print txt
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'match'
>>>
what am i missing?
