Use Multiple Conditions in BeautifulSoup

Question

We use this code find tags containing the text "Fiscal"

soup.find(class_="label",text=re.compile("Fiscal"))

How do I put multiple conditions in here.

Lets say tags containing "Fiscal" and "year" both.

Or tags containing "Fiscal" and NOT "year"

Answer 1

If you see that the criteria vary and they might get more complex then you could use a function as a filter e.g.:

Lets say tags containing "Fiscal" and "year" both.

t = soup.find(class_="label", text=lambda s: "Fiscal" in s and "year" in s)

Or tags containing "Fiscal" and NOT "year"

t = soup.find(class_="label", text=lambda s: "Fiscal" in s and "year" not in s)

You could also use a regex here but it might be less readable.
