Question

If I have a long string that looks like this:

<div class="rn"> <p> Hello< p> <p> Sammy <p> </div><div class="rn"><p> Hi <p> </div>

How can I make a list of list in python that would look like this

[

[Hello, Sammy]

[Hi]

]

essentally grabbing what inbetween the <div> <div> and if that <div> has mutiple <p>, extend the list

Answer 1

s = '''<div class="rn"> <p> Hello<p> <p> Sammy <p> </div><div class="rn"><p> Hi <p> </div>'''

# taking each div into a list
divs = s.split("<div")[1:]

result = []
for one in divs:
  
one = one.split("<p>")[1:-1] # having list of paragraphs
x = []
  
for word in one:
  
word = word.strip() # truncating the spaces before and after
word = word.rstrip()
  
if len(word) > 0: # if word is there, putting in the x
x.append(word)
  
result.append(x) # putting the each div paragraphs content into result
  
print(result)
