How to extract: My name is Jonas
Using regex :
regex = re.findall(r"< br/>\ n.*< br/>\ n< br/>")
Added additional spaces cause otherwise stack would not able to read correctly. But overall code doesn`t do what i want.
In fact you have more than one break line \n so instead you can use \n* which mean zero or more break line.
Beside you have to use \n and not \ n
try to use this regex < br/>\n*(.*)< br/>\n*< br/>
and try this :
import re
line = "< br/>"\
""\
"My name is Jonas< br/>"\
""\
"< br/>";
print(re.findall('< br/>\n*(.*)< br/>\n*< br/>', line));
=> ['My name is Jonas']
Have a look at the documentation of the regex groups in python: https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html
regex = re.findall(r"< br/>\n(.+?)< br/>\ n< br/>")
