How To Formulate The Xpath Expression From The Following Html

Hi, I would like to write an xpath expression to ONLY print the text for all the 'class - insights type1'. I don't need to print the ones that has 'hide' . Following CSS selecto

Solution 1:

Here's how you can do this:

//div[@class="content"]/div[@class="insights type1"]

In python call find_elements_by_xpath() and get the text of each div found:

fordivindriver.find_elements_by_xpath('//div[@class="content"]/div[@class="insights type1"]'):
    printdiv.text

Note that if you need only one single div, use just find_element_by_xpath():

div = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[@class="content"]/div[@class="insights type1"]')
print div.text

Also, if these divs can be outside of contentdiv too - use //div[@class="insights type1"].

Hope that helps.

Solution 2:

You can use Chrome's Dev Tools for this.

Fire up the dev tools using F12, and just right-click the element whose xpath you want.

Then use lxml to process the xml tree.
