[FIXED] How to get a string which is sibling to tag in BeautifulSoup

Issue

<strong><i class="fas fa-id-card-alt"> </i> I want this text to be copied</strong>

string = bla.find("strong").string gives None

Solution

In this case, you'll need to create a BeautifulSoup element:

bla = '<strong><i class="fas fa-id-card-alt"> </i> I want this text to be copied</strong>'
soup = BeautifulSoup(bla, 'html.parser')

Next, you can use find() passing your desired tag, in this case <strong>, then use get_text() to get your contents:

string = soup.find('strong').get_text()

The result will be:
' I want this text to be copied'

You can use the String method strip() to... strip the whitespaces:

>>> string.strip()
'I want this text to be copied'
