beautifulsoup - Extracting text nested within several tags with Beautiful Soup — Python -


i want extract text "12:25 - 30 mar 2015" beautiful soup html below. how html looks after being processed bs:

<span class="u-floatleft"> · </span> <span class="u-floatleft"> <a class="profiletweet-timestamp js-permalink js-nav js-tooltip" href="/tbantl/status/582333634931126272" title="5:08 pm - 29 mar 2015"> <span class="js-short-timestamp " data-aria-label-part="last" data-long-form="true" data-time="1427674132"> mar 29   </span>

i have code, doesn't work:

date = soup.find("a",attrs={"class":"profiletweet-timestamp js-permalink js-nav js-tooltip"})["title"]

this works me:

from bs4 import beautifulsoup  html = """<span class="u-floatleft">&nbsp;·&nbsp;</span>           <span class="u-floatleft">           <a class="profiletweet-timestamp js-permalink js-nav js-tooltip" href="/indoz1/status/582443448927543296" title="12:25 - 30 mar 2015">           <span class="js-short-timestamp " data-aria-label-part="last" data-time="1427700314" data-long-form="true">        """ soup = beautifulsoup(html) date = soup.find("a", attrs={"class": "profiletweet-timestamp js-permalink js-nav js-tooltip"})["title"]  >>> print(date) '12:25 - 30 mar 2015'

without more information, suspect didn't transform html snippet beautifulsoup object. in case, you'd typeerror: find() takes no keyword arguments.

or, alexce points out in comments above, item looking may not present in html parsing. in case, date empty.

finally, unrelated issues you're having above - if you're going parse date datetime object, there's easier way it. grab "data-time" field <span class="js-short-timestamp " ... > , parse using datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp:

from datetime import datetime dt  # "data-time" field value string named timestamp data_time = dt.fromtimestamp(int(timestamp))  >>> print(data_time) datetime.datetime(2015, 3, 30, 3, 25, 14)

bash - Performing variable substitution in a string -

i have string contains use of variable, , i'd substitute variable's value string. right best have is #!/bin/bash foo='$name; echo bar' name="the name" expanded="$(eval echo "$foo")" echo "$expanded" which has obvious defects: prints the name bar while i'd print the name; echo bar instead of eval can bash's regex matching bash's string replacement: foo='$name; echo bar' name="the name" [[ "$foo" =~ \$([[:alnum:]]+) ]] && s="${!bash_rematch[1]}" && expanded="${foo/\$${bash_rematch[1]}/$s}" echo "$expanded" name; echo bar
