How to create an Jsoup Selector with an AND operation?


I want to find the following tag in a html.

<a href="http://www.google.com/AAA" class="link">AAA</a>

I know I can use a selector like a[href^=http://www.google.com/] or a[class=link]. But how can I combine this two conditions?

Or is there a better way to do this? Like regex? and how? Thanks!


Solution

  • Just combine them in a single CSS selector.

    Elements links = document.select("a[href^=http://www.google.com/][class=link]");
    // ...
    

    or

    Elements links = document.select("a.link[href^=http://www.google.com/]");
    // ...
    

    Considering regex makes no sense with such a world class HTML parser.
