Is the <p> always in the same format (i.e. will always have a ```

If so, jQuery's $('p sp#blablabla') should be able to help as you can then select the text of the parent <p> and trim off the <sp>

var sender = $('p sp#blablabla').text()
var msg = $('p sp#blablabla').parent('p')
var msgHTML = msg.html()
var msgBody = msgHTML.substr(msg.length - (9 + sender.length)); // 9 for the two <sp> tags

what after # i need to do its id or anything – Arul Jan 30 '18 at 11:56
Yep the text after the `#` is the id of the ``. This will allow you to select the span element, and you can then use `.parent()` to select the parent `
`.

const cheerio = require('cheerio')
const $ = cheerio.load(`<p><sp id=\"blablabla\">puppy</sp>hi</p>`)

console.log($("p sp").text()) // will print puppy
console.log($("p").contents().last().text()) // will print hi
