i have the following code which is used to create a tuple of food and
drink. if the page i am trying to scrape has a total of 10 food/drink
items that i end up getting a nice list of 10 food/drink items in my
text file BUT they are all a repeat of the first item so i end up
getting a text file that looks like this:
shrimp, coke
shrimp, coke
shrimp, coke
instead of being
shrimp, coke
hamburger, oj
here is my code:
for row in bs('div', {'style' : 'both'}):
data=[]
for incident in bs('h3', {'class' : 'name'}):
foodlist = []
for oText in incident.fetchText( oRE):
foodlist.append(oText.strip() + "','")
food = ''.join(foodlist)
for incident in bs('span', {'class' : 'drink'}):
drink = incident.findNextSibling('a', {'class': 'nojs'})
drinklist = []
for oText in drink.fetchText( oRE):
drinklist.append(oText.strip() + "','")
drink = ''.join(drinklist)
tuple = (food + drink + "\n")
data.append(tuple)
f = open("test.txt", 'a')
f.write ( ''.join( tuple ) )
