How to extract only value "2"?-CodePudding

magic_number = soup.select_one('span:-soup-contains("people_alt")')

magic_number = soup.select_one('span:-soup-contains("people_alt")').text

magic_number = soup.select_one('span:-soup-contains("people_alt")').next_sibling

CodePudding user response：

Without any code as text and an url it is not that easy, so question needs improvement. Selecting more specific should work:

soup.select_one('.material-icons:-soup-contains("people_alt")').next_sibling.strip()

Example

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = '''
<span>
<span >people_alt</span>
2
</span>

'''
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)

soup.select_one('.material-icons:-soup-contains("people_alt")').next_sibling.strip()

Example
