python - how to display text only using find_all in beautiful soup? -

there succinct solution displaying text div using beautiful soup , find here https://stackoverflow.com/a/8994150/1063287 :

result = soup.find('div', {'class' :'flagpagetitle'}).text

i wanting apply same logic in scenario where:

content = original_content("div","class1 class2")

if modify be:

content = original_content("div","class1 class2").text

i getting error:

attributeerror: 'resultset' object has no attribute 'text'

can please tell me how can use same logic shown in scenario using find_all above? (note using shortcut of find_all not type it, see here)

thank you.

you using implied .find_all() method when call element directly, returns result set (a list-like object). using limit not change returned, how many returned.

if want first element of set, use slicing:

original_content("div","class1 class2", limit=1)[0].text 

or explicit , use .find() instead:

original_content.find("div","class1 class2").text 

to text of matches you'll need loop on result set. list comprehension easiest:

[el.text el in original_content("div","class1 class2")]
