[FIXED] How to get a value out of bs4.element.Tag

Issue

I am working with BeautifulSoup for a web scraping project. I have a tag:

<span class="sal "><em class="iconRup"></em>40.0 Lacs</span>

and I want to retrieve 40.0 Lacs from this.

I tried using :

salary = soup.find('span', class_ = 'sal')
print(salary.string())

but this gives a None object . How to do I proceed?

Solution

This is how:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<span class="sal "><em class="iconRup"></em>40.0 Lacs</span>
"""

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser").find('span', class_='sal')
print(soup.getText())

Output:

40.0 Lacs
