The question is a bit confusing, the example code is not JavaScript nor Python. Which language are you actually using and where is this code run? — Teemu, Nov 25 '22 at 08:53

Python:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


myhtml = """<option value="tfa_4472" id="tfa_4472" class="">helo 1</option>
<option value="tfa_4473" id="tfa_4473" class="">helo 2</option>
<option value="tfa_4474" id="tfa_4474" class="">helo 3</option>
<option value="tfa_4475" id="tfa_4475" class="">helo 4</option>
<option value="tfa_4476" id="tfa_4476" class="">helo 5</option>"""


soup = BeautifulSoup(myhtml, 'html.parser')

my_text = []
for text_tag in  soup.find_all("option", {'class': ''}):
    my_text.append(text_tag.getText())

my_text
['helo 1', 'helo 2', 'helo 3', 'helo 4', 'helo 5']

you can make it shorter - `my_text = [value.get_text() for value in soup.find_all("option")]` – Sergey K Nov 25 '22 at 14:13

In javascript you can try to select the option tags with queryselectorall and get the text with innerText by looping over the nodes and appending to myList.

$mylist = []
$nodes = document.querySelectorAll('option')

$nodes.forEach($node => {
    $mylist += $node.innerText
});

console.log($mylist)
