How can i remove every "<span" from items in my list? what should i change in regex?-CodePudding

Code:

text2=re.findall('http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_@.& ]|[!*\(\),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F])) ', text)

Output:

['https://m.facebook.com/people/Vick-Arcadia/100009629167118/', 'https://m.facebook.com<span', 'https://m.facebook.com<span',

CodePudding user response：

In general regexes aren't powerful enough to handle handle HTML which is tree structured and has matching openers and closers.

The preferred technique is to use a parser designed for HTML. In the Python world, lxml and BeautifulSoup are popular choices.

CodePudding user response：

This regex should work better

'https?:\/\/[\w\.] (\/[\/\w-] )?'

For regex I recommends testing on https://regex101.com/

But in operation on html better use BeautifulSoup lib, if u add more detals I can help u with this.
