[FIXED] Python BeautifulSoup find element that contains text

Issue

<div class="info">
       <h3> Height:
            <span>1.1</span>
       </h3>
</div>

<div class="info">
       <h3> Number:
            <span>111111111</span>
       </h3>
</div>

This is a partial portion of the site. Ultimately, I want to extract the 111111111. I know I can do soup.find_all("div", { "class" : "info" }) to get a list of both divs; however, I would prefer to not have to perform a loop to check if it contains the text "Number".

Is there a more elegant way to extract "1111111" so that it does soup.find_all("div", { "class" : "info" }), but also makes it so that it MUST contain "Number" within?

I also tried numberSoup = soup.find('h3', text='Number') but it returns None

Solution

Use xpath contains:

root.xpath('//div/h3[contains(text(), "Number")]/span/text()')
