Beautiful Soup if Class "Contains" or Regex?

BeautifulSoup supports CSS selectors which allow you to select elements based on the content of particular attributes. This includes the selector *= for contains.

The following will return all div elements with a class attribute containing the text 'listing-col-':

for EachPart in soup.select('div[class*="listing-col-"]'):
    print EachPart.get_text()

You can try this for loop:

regex = re.compile('.*listing-col-.*')
for EachPart in soup.find_all("div", {"class" : regex}):
        print EachPart.get_text()

You could avoid regex by using partial matching with gazpacho...

Input:

html = """\
<div class="listing-col-line-3-11 dpt 41">A</div>
<div class="listing-col-block-1-22 dpt 41">B</div>
<div class="listing-col-line-4-13 CWK 12">C</div>
"""

Partial matching code:

from gazpacho import Soup

soup = Soup(html)
divs = soup.find("div", {"class": "listing-col-"}, partial=True)
[div.text for div in divs]

Output:

['A', 'B', 'C']
