Need Help with the BeautifulSoup problem, please

[seaspeak]

I need to replace all tag <b> with <span> after â– . But the result from below is 'â–  <span style="REPLACE">D</span> / <font></font>'
Can you explain what I did wrong, please.

s = 'â– <b>A</b> <b>B</b> <b>C</b> <b>D</b> / <font></font>'
soup = BeautifulSoup(s)
for i in soup.find_all(text='â– '):
tag = soup.new_tag('span')
tag['style'] = 'REPLACE'
for ii in i.find_next_siblings():
if ii.name=='font' or str(ii).lstrip('')[0:1]=='/':
break
else:
if ii.name=='b':
tag.string=ii.string
print(ii.replace_with(tag))
print(soup)

I think you should try some descent
free editors such as notepad++
for your source codes to
replace trivial strings without
programmig.

the point is the result seems wrong. I don't know if that is my problem.
I simplify the code to emphasize the problem, there's no way an editor can do what I wanna do.

I think it's my fault, thanks

You are only creating one new tag but as I understand your problem you
want to replace each b-element with a new tag. Simply move the tag
creating part:

for i in soup.find_all(text='â– '):
for ii in i.find_next_siblings():
if ii.name=='font' or str(ii).lstrip('')[0:1]=='/':
break
else:
if ii.name=='b':
tag = soup.new_tag('span')
tag['style'] = 'REPLACE'
tag.string=ii.string
print(ii.replace_with(tag))

Can you explain what I did wrong, please.

s = 'â– <b>A</b> <b>B</b> <b>C</b> <b>D</b> / <font></font>'
soup = BeautifulSoup(s)
for i in soup.find_all(text='â– '):

It looks like you cannot reuse a tag. Try

s = 'â– <b>A</b> <b>B</b> <b>C</b> <b>D</b> / <font></font>'
soup = BeautifulSoup(s)
for i in soup.find_all(text='â– '):
for ii in i.find_next_siblings():
if ii.name=='font' or str(ii).lstrip('')[0:1]=='/':
break
else:
if ii.name=='b':
tag = soup.new_tag('span')
tag['style'] = 'REPLACE'
tag.string=ii.string
print(ii.replace_with(tag))
print(soup)
