Getting Value from div with class having another blank tag Python BeautifulSoup-CodePudding

I am trying to get the value '5' of from the following :

<div >₹<!-- -->5</div>

and the python-beautifulsoup code i used returns Nothing:

drugprice=soup.find('div', class_="DrugPriceBox__price___dj2lv")

print(drugprice)

The webpage url is: https://www.1mg.com/drugs/acticort-5mg-tablet-321932

Thank you in advance!

The WORKING CODE after solving the problem:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    #turl='https://www.1mg.com/drugs/acticort-5mg-tablet-321932'
    turl='https://www.1mg.com/drugs/zerodol-sp-tablet-67307'
    print (turl)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(turl,headers=headers).content, "html.parser")
    #type 'div' pricing format
    div = soup.find('div', class_='DrugPriceBox__price___dj2lv')
    if div:
        print(div.text)
    else:
        #type 'span' pricing format
        #span =soup.find('span', class_="PriceBoxPlanOption__offer-price___3v9x8 PriceBoxPlanOption__offer-price-cp___2QPU_")
        span =soup.find('span', class_="PriceBoxPlanOption__margin-right-4___2aqFt PriceBoxPlanOption__stike___pDQVN")      
        if span:
            print(span.text)
        else:
            print('Nada')

CodePudding user response：

Not sure why you are getting an error. I cannot see the original site as it is blocked for some reason, but running an express server with exactly the div that you entered, and using the below worked fine for me with the below.

import string

import bs4
import requests

if __name__ == '__main__':
    r = requests.get('http://localhost:3000/')
    soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(r.text)
    div = soup.find('div', class_='DrugPriceBox__price___dj2lv')
    acceptable_chars = set(string.ascii_letters   string.digits   '.')
    drugprice = ''.join(char for char in div.text if char in acceptable_chars)
    print(drugprice)
