I have problem extracting address.

I want a string to look like

mystr=Suite 100,2010 Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto ON  M6E 2K3

My Code:

   dt = soup.find(class_ ={"practice-location"})

   print dt

   ele=dt.find_all('strong')

   print ele

   add=

   for x in ele.find_next_siblings(text=True):

     add.append(x.text)

   location=','.join(add)

   print location

use .extract() to remove tag and .replace_with to replace tag

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup



html="""<div class="practice-location">

<strong>Primary Location of Practice</strong><br/>

                        Suite 100<br/>2010 Eglinton Avenue West<br/>Toronto ON  M6E 2K3<br/><strong>

</div>"""



soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')

dt = soup.find(class_ ={"practice-location"})

# remove "strong" here

dt.strong.extract()

for br in dt.select('br'):

    br.replace_with(', ')

print(dt.text.strip().strip(',').strip())



# Suite 100, 2010 Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto ON  M6E 2K3

about 3x strip(), after <br> replaced with the , it will produce string

, 

                    Suite 100, 2010 Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto ON  M6E 2K3, 

first .strip() remove space and new line, second remove comma, and third replace again space and newline.

you could just do .text or .extract, but I was thinking you wanted them seperated with ','

this will do that.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup, Tag   







def split_at_br(text):

    string = ''

    for x in text:



        if isinstance(x, str) and 'n' not in x:

            string += x



        if isinstance(x, str) and 'n' in x:

            x = x.split('n')

            x_temp = 

            for ele in x:

                ele = ele.strip()

                x_temp.append(ele)

            x = ' '.join(x_temp)

            x = x.strip()

            string += x



        if isinstance(x, Tag):

            if x.name != 'br':

                x = x.text

                string += x

            else:

                x = ','

                string += x



    string = string[:-2].strip()

    return string

gives output:

html="""<div class="practice-location">

                        Suite 100<br/>2010 Eglinton Avenue West<br/>Toronto ON  M6E 2K3<br/><strong>

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')



text = soup.select('div.practice-location')

text = text[0].contents



mystr = split_at_br(text)

then

In [1]: print (mystr)
