python/beautifulsoup to find all <a href> with specific anchor text

Question

I am trying to use beautiful soup to parse html and find all href with a specific anchor tag

<a href="http://example.com">TEXT</a> <a href="http://example.com/link">TEXT</a> <a href="http://example.com/page">TEXT</a> 

all the links I am looking for have the exact same anchor text, in this case TEXT. I am NOT looking for the word TEXT, I want to use the word TEXT to find all the different HREF

edit:

for clarification looking for something similar to using the class to parse for the links

<a href="http://example.com" class="visible">TEXT</a> <a href="http://example.com/link" class="visible">TEXT</a> <a href="http://example.com/page" class="visible">TEXT</a> 

and then using

findAll('a', 'visible') 

except the HTML I am parsing doesn't have a class but always the same anchor text

Answer 1

Would something like this work?

In [39]: from bs4 import BeautifulSoup  In [40]: s = """\    ....: <a href="http://example.com">TEXT</a>    ....: <a href="http://example.com/link">TEXT</a>    ....: <a href="http://example.com/page">TEXT</a>    ....: <a href="http://dontmatchme.com/page">WRONGTEXT</a>"""  In [41]: soup = BeautifulSoup(s)  In [42]: for link in soup.findAll('a', href=True, text='TEXT'):    ....:     print link['href']    ....:    ....: http://example.com http://example.com/link http://example.com/page
