Python How to get the tag value without the tag xml

Question

• I am using findAll method of BeautifulSoup and trying to fetch all the values of particular tag DocumentIndex.
• While using it, I am getting the output as

[<DocumentIndex>3646</DocumentIndex>, <DocumentIndex>3650</DocumentIndex>, <DocumentIndex>3649</DocumentIndex>]

• Code, gstr_xml is available here

lstr_soup = BeautifulSoup(gstr_xml, features="xml")
lstr_folder_index = lstr_soup.findAll('DocumentIndex')
print(lstr_folder_index)

• How can I get the output just as

[3646, 3650, 3649]

Answer 1

Each value in the list is a <class 'bs4.element.Tag'>, which you can call .text on to retrieve just the text value.

print([x.text for x in lstr_folder_index])

# Output:
['3646', '3650', '3649']
