How to get all text including within child tags

[Anjali Arora]

Hi,

From a source page, I am extracting the following:

item['nlabel'] = site.select('div[2]/div/table/tbody/tr/td/text()').extract()

This works fine except where there are child tags within the td tag; so if there is a <strong> tag within the <td>, the spider skips whatever is within <strong>some text here</strong> leading in extraction of incomplete information. How do I get around this? XPath examples will be great.

Thanks.

Use //text()

Thanks, that does it for me!

Best.
