Hello, I am trying to figure out how to code for reading in text from a URL in python but in two chunks.
I am looking at a transcript from a website and I want to read in the text but I want the reading in of the text to stop when the transcript says “Part 2”, I then want to have this chunk of information as one entity and then create another entity filled with the text that occurs after the words “Part 2”. Im thinking one way to do this is using a while loop, but I am not quite sure how to implement it
Def text_chunk(url)
webpage=web.urlopen(url)
while text != “Part 2”:
rawbytes=webpage.read()
webpage.close()
text = rawBytes.decode('utf-8’)
return text
Thank you!!!!
