Get words between specific words in a Python string

I’m working on getting the words between certain words in a string.

Find string between two substrings Referring to this article, I succeeded in catching words in the following way.

s = 'asdf=5;iwantthis123jasd'
result = re.search('asdf=5;(.*)123jasd', s)
print(result.group(1))

But in the sentence below it failed.

s = '''        <div class="prod-origin-price ">
        <span class="discount-rate">
            4%
        </span>
            <span class="origin-price">'''


result = re.search('<span class="discount-rate">(.*)</span>', s)
print(result.group(1))

I’m trying to bring ‘4%’. Everything else succeeds, but I don’t know why only this one fails.
Help

>Solution :

Try this (mind the white spaces and new lines)

import re
s = '''        <div class="prod-origin-price ">
        <span class="discount-rate">
            4%
        </span>
            <span class="origin-price">'''


result = re.search('<span class="discount-rate">\s*(.*)\s*</span>', s)
print(result.group(1))
