I have an html string and I am trying to replace a paragraph mark.

  • 0

I have an html string and I am trying to replace a paragraph mark. I can do this manually in word by selecting edit > find what: ^p > replace with ^s > replace all. My question is how do I do this with an html string in python?

sample_html_string = "<html>
                  <title>
                  Hello
                  </title>
                  </html>"

correct_html_string = "<html><title>Hello</title></html>"

The issue is not simply solved using re.sub because I have a more complex html string that contains li tags and p tags, where I want to keep formatting.

    You can do this way:

    >>> import re
>>> re.sub('\s+', '', sample_html_string)
'<html><title>Hello</title></html>"'

    It’ll replace all the space characters and perfectly works for your example

    If you need to replace the paragraph mark (you mean \n, right?) you can use built-in replace:

    >>> sample_html_string.replace('\n', '')
