how we calculate the divs count in html file using python?

Question

I want the total no of divs present in html file.

I want the solution in python.

I have tried following code to find divs using class but now i want size of that divs.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import random

HTMLFile = open("/home/earth/sample.html", "r")
file = HTMLFile.read()
print(file)

S = BeautifulSoup(file, 'lxml')
Des = S.body
Attr_Tag = [e.name for e in Des.descendants if e.name is not None]
print(Attr_Tag)

mydivs = S.findAll('div',class_="col")
#mydivs=S.select('.col')

print(mydivs)

Answer 1

You're on the track.

findAll method return's a list so you can simply call the built-in len method to find out the size of the list[div]

Just change the last part to this;

mydivs = S.findAll('div',{'class': "col"})
print(len(mydivs))

Using Selenium to count the number of <div> tags you can use the len() function and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

• Using CLASS_NAME:

  print(len(driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "div")))
  

• Using CSS_SELECTOR:

  print(len(driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div")))
  

• Using XPATH:

  print(len(driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//div")))
