Using beautifulsoup to extract text between line breaks (e.g. <br /> tags)
- by Michael Altman
I have the following HTML that is within a larger document
<br />
Important Text 1
<br />
<br />
Not Important Text
<br />
Important Text 2
<br />
Important Text 3
<br />
<br />
Non Important Text
<br />
Important Text 4
<br />
I'm currently using BeautifulSoup to obtain other elements within the HTML, but I have not been able to find a way to get the important lines of text between <br /> tags. I can isolate and navigate to each of the <br /> elements, but can't find a way to get the text in between. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
