Extract a html tag that contains a string in openrefine?

Question

There is not much to add to the title. It's what i'm trying to do. Any suggestions?

I reviewed the docs at github and googled extensively.

The best i got is:

value.parseHtml().select('p[contains('xyz')]')

It results in a syntax error.

Answer 1

The 'select' syntax is based on the select syntax in Beautiful Soup (http://jsoup.org/cookbook/extracting-data/selector-syntax)

In this case I believe the syntax you need is:

value.parseHtml().select("p:contains(xyz)")
