Python - beautifulsoup - how to deal with missing closing tags
问题内容:
I would like to scrape the table from html code using beautifulsoup. A snippet
of the html is shown below. When using table.findAll('tr')
I get the entire
table and not only the rows. (probably because the closing tags are missing
from the html code?)
<TABLE COLS=9 BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=3 CELLPADDING=0>
<TR><TD><B>Artikelbezeichnung</B>
<TD><B>Anbieter</B>
<TD><B>Menge</B>
<TD><B>Taxe-EK</B>
<TD><B>Taxe-VK</B>
<TD><B>Empf.-VK</B>
<TD><B>FB</B>
<TD><B>PZN</B>
<TD><B>Nachfolge</B>
<TR><TD>ACTIQ 200 Mikrogramm Lutschtabl.m.integr.Appl.
<TD>Orifarm
<TD ID=R> 30 St
<TD ID=R> 266,67
<TD ID=R> 336,98
<TD>
<TD>
<TD>12516714
<TD>
</TABLE>
Here is my python code to show what I am struggling with:
soup = BeautifulSoup(data, "html.parser")
table = soup.findAll("table")[0]
rows = table.find_all('tr')
for tr in rows:
print(tr.text)
问题答案:
As stated in their
documentation html5lib
parses the document as the web browser does (Like
lxml
in this case). It’ll try to fix your document tree by adding/closing
tags when needed.
In your example I’ve used lxml as the parser and it gave the following result:
soup = BeautifulSoup(data, "lxml")
table = soup.findAll("table")[0]
rows = table.find_all('tr')
for tr in rows:
print(tr.get_text(strip=True))
Note that lxml
added html & body tags because they weren’t present in the
source (It’ll try to create a well formed document as previously state).
