  1. POHow to extract such text from javascript sentences in a html file by python
    text
    copied!<p>I'm new to web-scraping coding. I'm using python to parse the html files and the package I'm using is BeautifulSoup. Now I want to extract the certain numbers like the <code>1</code> in <code>$mwidgetHelper.setTitle('Posts (1)')</code>, the <code>1</code> in <code>$mwidgetHelper.setTitle('Notes (1)')</code>, and the text like the <code>user_638166_451203</code> in <code>hover_boxes.hoverize_link('user_638166_451203', 'user_profile')</code> under the <code>&lt;script&gt;</code> tag in this html file. The question is I'm not sure which methods I should use to parse these elements. The codes are below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; newDiv = document.createElement("div"); newDiv.id = $mwidgetManager.getTitleId(); newDiv.className = 'mw_title widget_title ' + $mwidgetManager.getTitleId(); newDiv.innerHTML = "About Me"; $p('ppwt_1').appendChild(newDiv); $mwidgetHelper.setTitle('About kk'); $mwidgetManager.nextApp(); newDiv = document.createElement("div"); newDiv.id = $mwidgetManager.getTitleId(); newDiv.className = 'mw_title widget_title ' + $mwidgetManager.getTitleId(); newDiv.innerHTML = "Status"; $p('ppwt_11').appendChild(newDiv); $mwidgetHelper.setTitle('Posts (1)'); $mwidgetHelper.setSubtitle('&lt;a href=\"/user_posts/list/9\"&gt;See All&lt;\/a&gt;'); $mwidgetManager.nextApp(); $mwidgetHelper.setTitle('Notes (1)'); $mwidgetHelper.setSubtitle('&lt;a href=\"/notes/list/9\"&gt;See All&lt;\/a&gt;'); //&lt;![CDATA[ hover_boxes.hoverize_link('user_638166_451203', 'user_profile'); //]]&gt; &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thanks!</p>
