Question

Hey,
I have a html page which contains for example the following tags :

<p foruri="http://doc.scrapy.org/getting-help:solving-specific-problems" rec="lang.en" id="solving-specific-problems">Hello world!!! From my authoring tool.</p>

<p foruri="http://doc.scrapy.org/getting-help:getting help" rec="lang.en" id="getting help">Hello world!!! From my authoring tool.</p>

Now I wrote a crawler using the scrapy framework in python,in which i used the cxxpath query to find the foruri tag as //@foruri which should give me the foruri tag where ever it is present, but the problem is it does not yield http:

So help me in getting it?

Answer 1

Assuming you wish to extract the foruri attribute of all <p> tags:

hxs.select('//p/@foruri').extract()
