BeautifulSoup get text links?

I have the following code:

soup = BeautifulSoup(content, "html.parser")
block = soup.select('.meta-info a')

I need to get all links in block .meta_info

After I try to get all text of links from array block, only that have email address as text link.

I mean:

<a href="">Bla bla [email protected]</a>

How can I get it?

I tried as:

 for item in block:
            email_par = emailFromString(item.text)

            if email_par[0]:
                pass

But it works not stable

this link might be helpful css select with regex

if you still cant figure it out try this, make sure you have the latest version of BeautifulSoup

import re
soup = BeautifulSoup(content, "html.parser")
block = soup.select('.meta-info a')

emails = block.find_all(text=re.compile('.*@.*\.com'))

now you can iterate over it and extract the text from each of the links
