How To Find Element Based On Text Ignore Child Tags In Beautifulsoup

I am looking for a solution using Python and BeautifulSoup to find an element based on the inside text. For example:

Ignore this textFind based on th

Solution 1:

You can use .find with the text argument and then use findParent to the parent element.

Ex:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
s="""<div> <b>Ignore this text</b>Find based on this text </div>"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(s, 'html.parser')
t = soup.find(text="Find based on this text ") 
print(t.findParent())

Output:

<div> <b>Ignore this text</b>Find based on this text </div>

Solution 2:

try it , it is like example but it works

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html="""
<div> <b>Ignore this text</b>Find based on this text </div>
"""

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')                                                                                                                                                

s = soup.find('div')

for child in s.find_all('b'):
    child.decompose()

print(s.get_text())

Output

 Find based onthis text
