I want to get the text of the element with td tag. The text I want is "2021.08.13"

                         <tr>
                        <td><span>申请号：</span> <a 
 href="javascript:viewDetail(0);">CN202110930062.2</a> </td>
                        <td><span>申请日：</span> 2021.08.13 
                                                   </td>
                    </tr>

I tried the following XPath :

"td//span[.='申请日：']"

But I am getting the text value of span tag only. Can anybody tell me the correct xpath or css selector for this?

CodePudding user response：

The easiest way to get the value is to get the whole cell value and then split with specific text to get the remaining value.

celltext=driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//td[.//span[.='申请日：']]").text
lastpart=celltext.split('申请日：')[-1]
print(lastpart)

There is another way you could grab the value using javascript executor to get the lastchildnode.

print(driver.execute_script('return arguments[0].lastChild.textContent;', driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//td[.//span[.='申请日：']]")))

CodePudding user response：

If that string you need is the last text(), you could use:

1. the following-sibling axis like this :

   //td/span[.='申请日：']/following-sibling::text()

2. the last() text() like this

   //td[span[.='申请日：']]/text()[last()]
