How to print text from child node using xpath?

[rajpradeep32]

Using the below xpath am able to point to the text 'caught Hughes' in the HTML code but am unable to print it. Using Java in selenium webdriver

XPATH:

++++++

//*[@id='full-scorecard']/div[2]/div/table[1]/tbody/tr[3]/td[2]/child::text()

HTML:
+++++

<td colspan="8">

<b>12.6</b>

 caught Hughes 

<b>73/4</b>

<br/>

</td>

Thanks!

It is quite hard to produce a good XPath query without seeing the full HTML code, for the piece you posted you can try something like:

//b[text()='12.6']/parent::*/text()[2]

See the following references to learn about XPath syntax:

• XPath Language Specification
• XPath Tutorial
• Using the XPath Extractor in JMeter
  

There is also quite good Firefox extension which provides visual information on your XPath query matches - XPath Checker
