Question

i am using java with jsoup to parse a website, trouble is , alot of the information i needed isnt surrounded by tags.

for example , each <p> below has telephone number/s for 2 different people. one person has a telephone while the other does not.

<p class="contact-info">Tel: <strong> 059-9162997</strong> | Mob: <strong>087-2280039</strong></p>
 <p class="contact-info">Mob: <strong>086 7726712</strong></p>

How could i parse/ pattern match this information to retrieve

person 1 —–> 059-9162997, 087-2280039

person 2 —–> 086 7726712

Also how would i retrieve the information for this

<p class="contact-info">Address: <strong>Suite 26, Unit 1, North Park, North Road,Dublin 11, Dublin</strong> <br />Email: <a href="mailto:[e-mail]">[e-mail]</a><br />Website: <a href="http://www.swillydrive.ie">http://www.swillydrive.ie</a></p>

where

Address —–>Suite 26, Unit 1, North Park, North Road,Dublin 11, Dublin
email ——-> [e-mail]
website ——>http://www.swillydrive.ie

Answer 1

You can use jsoup to select some data depending on what you need, as described here.

In your case, you need to select all p tag with the contact-info class, and then the strong tag in it. The syntax allows you do write it like this:

p.contact-info strong

Which, in Java, gives:

Elements elements = document.select("p.contact-info strong");
for (Element element : elements) {
    String phoneNumber = element.text();
}
