Cleaning string from scraping webpage python
<p>I scraped the content of a website via Python and the requests library and I tried to clean out all the html and javascript.</p>

<pre><code>from lxml.html.clean import Cleaner
import lxml.html as html
text = html.document_fromstring(r.text).text_content()
cleaner = Cleaner(kill_tags=['noscript', 'img', 'a', 'h1'], remove_tags=['p'], style=True)
text = cleaner.clean_html(text)
text = ' '.join(text.split())
</code></pre>

<p>But I'm still getting a lot of stuff that looks like this (*** replacing identifying info):</p>

<pre><code>var STYLEID = \'9\', STATICURL = \'static/\', IMGDIR = \'comiis_xzs19lou\', VERHASH = \'wRx\', charset = \'gbk\',  cookiepre = \'bdRb_a91d_\', cookiedomain = \'.***\', cookiepath = \'/\', showusercard = \'1\', attackevasive = \'0\', disallowfloat = \'login|newthread\', creditnotice = \'****\', defaultstyle = \'\', REPORTURL = \'***==\', SITEURL = \'http://****/\', JSPATH = \'data/cache/\', CSSPATH = \'data/cache/style_\', DYNAMICURL = \'\'; body{background:#EBDFC5;}

<p>and</p>

<p>Any idea how to get rid of all of that?</p>

<p>You need to clean <code>&lt;script&gt;</code> tags if you want to get rid of javascript. The only thing <code>&lt;noscript&gt;</code> tags are for is displaying an image or text if the browser has scripts disabled.</p>

<pre><code>cleaner = Cleaner(kill_tags=['script', 'noscript', 'img', 'a', 'h1'], remove_tags=['p'], style=True)
