Question

I use a Jsoup to get the Elements from a web:

Elements addresses = doc.select("address > div");

and the result is like this:

<address>
    <div>
    7135 S Kingery Hwy<br>Willowbrook, IL 60527
</div>
<div class="phone">
        [phone]
</div>
</address>

I have a hard time to retrieve the address from the tag. I use a text() method:

for (Element address : addresses) {
    Log.i("addresses", address.text() );
}

and the result is:

7135 S Kingery Hwy Willowbrook, IL 60527
[phone]

How can I filter it to retrieve the address only and also replace br tag with newline? Expected result:

7135 S Kingery Hwy 
Willowbrook, IL 60527

You can try this,

    Elements addresses = doc.select("address > :not(div[class=phone])");
    for (Element address : addresses) {
        for (Node node : address.childNodes()) {
            if (node.nodeName().equals("br")) {
                continue;
            }
            String text = node.toString().trim();
            System.out.println(text);
        }
    }
