[web2py] Re: search text inside html - using html.elements find

[pubu]

Thank you massimo,

i have try

"""
re.UNICODE
Make \w, \W, \b, \B, \d, \D, \s and \S dependent on the Unicode
character properties database.
"""

el_list = html.elements(find=re.compile(r'pers\wnliche', re.I|re.U))

but no match.

when i do:

    html = TAG(data)
    res = []
    res_add = res.append
    for el in html.components:
        if type(el) != type(str()):
            text = el.flatten()
            match = re.compile('persönliche', re.I).search(text)
            if match:
                res_add(text)

i get the match.

Best regards
