#62011 — Need Help with the BeautifulSoup problem, please

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

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

I think it's my fault, thanks

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.

It looks like you cannot reuse a tag. Try

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

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='■'):
     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))
