I'm trying to parse text between the tag <blockquote>. When I type soup.blockquote.get_text().
I get the result I want for the first occurring blockquote in the HTML file. How do I find the next and sequential <blockquote> tag in the file? Maybe I'm just tired and can't find it in the documentation.
Example HTML file:
<html>
<head>header
</head>
<blockquote>I can get this text
</blockquote>
<p>eiaoiefj</p>
<blockquote>trying to capture this next
</blockquote>
<p></p><strong>do not capture this</strong>
<blockquote>
capture this too but separately after "capture this next"
</blockquote>
</html>
the simple python code:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html_doc = open("example.html")
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_doc)
print.(soup.blockquote.get_text())
# how to get the next blockquote???

Use find_next_sibling (If it not a sibling, use find_next instead)
>>> html = '''
... <html>
... <head>header
... </head>
... <blockquote>blah blah
... </blockquote>
... <p>eiaoiefj</p>
... <blockquote>capture this next
... </blockquote>
... <p></p><strong>don'tcapturethis</strong>
... <blockquote>
... capture this too but separately after "capture this next"
... </blockquote>
... </html>
... '''
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
>>> quote1 = soup.blockquote
>>> quote1.text
u'blah blah\n'
>>> quote2 = quote1.find_next_siblings('blockquote')
>>> quote2.text
u'capture this next\n'
