Issue
Assuming I have "semi" HMTL string like
some_string = "sometext<body>someText<h1>Text</h1>Worldt<p>And some text here<br>Text.</p></body>HereAlsoText"
I need to replace all tags in the string but with keeping all HTML tags (including br):
"UPDATED<body>UPDATED<h1>UPDATED</h1>UPDATED<p>UPDATED<br>UPDATED</p></body>UPDATED"
The following code works, but cannot do anything with <br> tag and text before and after html (outside of body tag, in this case):
soup = BeautifulSoup(mod_string, "html.parser")
# Find all tags
tags = soup.find_all()
# Loop through child tags
for tag in tags:
# Check if tag is a string
if tag.string:
if tag.name != 'br':
# Replace string
tag.string.replace_with("TEST")
for parent_tag in tags:
if not parent_tag.string:
parent_tag.string = ''.join(
["TEST"
if not re.match(r'<[^>]+>', str(t)) else str(t)
for t in parent_tag.contents])
Appreciate your help. Thanks!
Solution
Keep it more simple, just select all the text nodes and replace the text as you have already tried in your example:
for e in soup.find_all(text=True):
e.string.replace_with('UPDATE')
Example
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
some_string = 'sometext<body>someText<h1>Text</h1>Worldt<p>And some text here<br>Text.</p></body>HereAlsoText'
soup = BeautifulSoup(some_string, 'html.parser')
for e in soup.find_all(text=True):
e.string.replace_with('UPDATE')
print(soup)
Output
UPDATE<body>UPDATE<h1>UPDATE</h1>UPDATE<p>UPDATE<br/>UPDATE</p></body>UPDATE
