would give me: <meta name="description" content="terreno de 936 m², Terreno en venta en paseo Blasco Ibáñez s/n, Costa Esuri, Ayamonte, Costa Esuri">

<meta name="description" content="terreno de 936 m², Terreno en venta en paseo Blasco Ibáñez s/n, Costa Esuri, Ayamonte, Costa Esuri">

In an attempt to scrape just the text, without any htmlHTML, I trialled applying sedsed and I ended up with this code that works as expected:

terreno de 936 m², Terreno en venta en paseo Blasco Ibáñez s/n, Costa Esuri, Ayamonte, Costa Esuri

terreno de 936 m², Terreno en venta en paseo Blasco Ibáñez s/n, Costa Esuri, Ayamonte, Costa Esuri

wheras it gives me the untrimmed <meta name="description" content="terreno de 936 m², Terreno en venta en paseo Blasco Ibáñez s/n, Costa Esuri, Ayamonte, Costa Esuri">.

<meta name="description" content="terreno de 936 m², Terreno en venta en paseo Blasco Ibáñez s/n, Costa Esuri, Ayamonte, Costa Esuri">
