How to find an element with particular value? #21

Hi!

I have html files not using ids. With beautifulsoup it is easy to find such element using find("Some text"):

<span style="color: #012345">Some text</span>

Is the only way to find this to use FindAll("span") and then iterating through all found spans? In this case, how can I check whether a particular span element contains text? I wouldn't like to disable debugging, since, I guess, empty span is not necessary a critical error.

Hi, this isn't supported currently (could be included in future versions) Iterating through all spans and calling the method Text() on them would be an alternative option atm.

Hi @anaskhan96
If no one is working on this enhancement and it's still open, can I take it up? Could you assign it to me?
