I have a html file like following:
<form action="/2811457/follow?gsid=3_5bce9b871484d3af90c89f37" method="post">
<div>
<a href="/2811457/follow?page=2&gsid=3_5bce9b871484d3af90c89f37">next_page</a>
<input name="mp" type="hidden" value="3" />
<input type="text" name="page" size="2" style='-wap-input-format: "*N"' />
<input type="submit" value="jump" /> 1/3
</div>
</form>
how to extract the "1/3" from the file?
It is a part of html,I intend to make it clear. When I use beautifulsoup,
I'm new to beautifulsoup,and I have look the document,but still confused.
how to extract"1/3" from the html file?
total_urls_num = soup.find(re.compile('.*/d\//d.*'))
doesn't work
As JBernardo said,\d should be a number,When I change to .*\d/\d.*,it doesn't work too.
my code:
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import re
with open("html.txt","r") as f:
response = f.read()
print response
soup = BeautifulSoup(response)
delete_urls = soup.findAll('a', href=re.compile('follow\?page')) #works
print delete_urls
#total_urls_num = soup.find(re.compile('.*\d/\d.*'))
total_urls_num = soup.find('input',style='submit') #can't work
print total_urls_num
