I need XPATH for <tr> that contains text 'abc' in second <td> and text 'xyz' in third <td>
Tried but no luck.
final String XPATH = "//tr[td[contains(.,'abc')] and td[contains(.,'xyz')]";
Your expression actually almost selects what you want (once you fix the missing last ]). You just need to specify positions of the <td> elements.
//tr[td[2][contains(.,'abc')] and td[3][contains(.,'xyz')]]
For the following XML document:
<document>
<table>
<tr>
<td>foo</td>
<td>abc</td>
<td>xyz</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>foo</td>
<td>bar</td>
<td>xyz</td>
</tr>
</table>
</document>
this returns a node-set with the first <tr> element of the document in document order.

I have the follow html file:
<table class="pd-table">
<caption> Tech </caption>
<tbody>
<tr data-group="1">
<td> Electrical </td>
<td> Design </td>
<tr data-group="1">
<td> Output </td>
<td> Function </td>
<tr data-group="7">
<td> EMC </td>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td> EN 6547 ESD </td>
<td> EN 8901 ESD </td>
<tr data-group="8">
<td> Weight [8] </td>
<td> 27.7 </td>
I can isolate EN 6547 ESD and EN 8901 ESD with the follow xpath:
//table[#class="pd-table"]//tbody//tr//td/table//tr//td/text()').getall()
Any other way is always welcome :)
Another data which I would like to get is to get all the rest of the data without the previous isolated.
Is there any way to do it? :)
Looks like table tag is not closed properly in data-group-7...
Anyway in such cases you can stick to text content of the cell using contains() or text()="some exact text"
response.xpath('//td[contains(text(), "EMC")]').css('td~table tbody td::text').extract()
Your used Xpath uses a lot of unwanted double slash.
See meaning of double slash in Xpath.
The less you use double slash, the better it will perform.
So just use single slash like this:
//table[#class="pd-table"]/tbody/tr/td/table/tr/td/text()
Another way of selecting td's that have two ancestor::table
//td[count(ancestor::table)=2]/text()
And that leads to the answer of your second question:
//td[count(ancestor::table)=1]/text()
An other possibility would just be:
//table[#class="pd-table"]/tbody/tr/td/text()
Or(assuming the second tabel does not have tr's with #data-group):
//tr[#data-group]/td/text()
So you see there are many Xpath's lead to Rome ;-).
I need to find the whole text according last word in the string. I have something like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td style='white-space:nowrap;'>
<a href=''>test</a>
</td>
<td>any text</td>
<td>text text texttofind</td>
<td>Not Available</td>
<td class='aui-lozenge aui-lozenge-default'>text</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='white-space:nowrap;'>
<a href=''>test</a>
</td>
<td>any text</td>
<td>text text texttofind2</td>
<td>Not Available</td>
<td class='aui-lozenge aui-lozenge-default'>text</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='white-space:nowrap;'>
<a href=''>test</a>
</td>
<td>any text</td>
<td>text text texttofind3</td>
<td>Not Available</td>
<td class='aui-lozenge aui-lozenge-default'>text</td>
</tr>
</table>
I need to find whole text vallue according last word texttofind
<td>text text texttofind</td>
I cant use contains, because it will find multiple values. I need something like ends-with but I am using xpath 1.0.
I tried something like this, but I am not sure what is wrong because it is not working
//tr[substring(., string-length(#td)
- string-length('texttofind') + 1) = 'texttofind']
or maybe it would be better to use matches?
You're almost there; try changing your xpath expression to
//tr//td[substring(., string-length(.)
- string-length('texttofind') + 1) = 'texttofind']
and see if it works.
I am trying to access data contained in a table that is itself contained in a table with class ='L1'.
So basically my html structure is like this:
<table class="L1">
<table>
<tr></tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>data</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>data</td>
</tr>
...ect...ect
</table>
</table>
I need to catch the data contained in a all <a> </a> that are in the second contained in <tr> </tr> but only starting with the second <tr> of the table.
So far I came up with that:
html_body = Nokogiri::HTML(body)
links = html_body.css('.L1').xpath("//table/tbody/tr/td[2]/a[1]")
But seems to me that this doesn't express the fact that I want to start only after the second <tr> (second <tr> included?
What would be the right code to do this ?
You can use position() to select the later elements that you want.
html_body = Nokogiri::HTML(body)
links = html_body.css('.L1').xpath("//table/tbody/tr[position()>1]/td[2]/a[1]")
As the comments on that SO answer say, remember XPath counts from 1, so >1 skips the first tr.
I'm trying to import some data from a HTML page with feeds importer. The context is this:
<table class="tabela">
<tr valign="TOP">
<td class="formulario-legenda">Nome:</td>
<td nowrap="nowrap">
<b>Raul Fernando de Almeida Moreira Vidal</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="TOP">
<td class="formulario-legenda">Sigla:</td>
<td>
<b>RMV</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="TOP">
<td class="formulario-legenda">Código:</td>
<td>206415</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="TOP">
<td class="formulario-legenda">Estado:</td>
<td>Ativo</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td class="topo">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="formulario-legenda">Categoria:</td>
<td>Professor Associado</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="formulario-legenda">Carreira:</td>
<td>Pessoal Docente de Universidades</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="formulario-legenda">Grupo profissional:</td>
<td>Docente</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="TOP">
<td class="formulario-legenda">Departamento:</td>
<td>
<a href="uni_geral.unidade_view?pv_unidade=151"
title="Departamento de Engenharia Informática">Departamento de Engenharia Informática</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I tried with this:
/html/body/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]
but nothing appears. Can someone help me with the right syntax to obtain "Grupo Profissional"?
Quick answer that might work
Considering just the HTML sample you provided (which only has two tables) you can select the text you want using this expression, based on the table's position:
//table[2]//tr[3]/td[1]/text()
This will work in the HTML you pasted above. But it might not work in your actual scenario, since you might have other tables, the table you want to select has no ID and you didn't suggest some invariant text in your code which could be used to anchor the context for the expression. Assuming the initial part of your XPath expression (the div sequence) is correct, you might be able to use:
/html/body/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/table[2]//tr[3]/td[1]/text()
But it's wuite a fragile expression and vulnerable to any changes in the document.
A (possibly) better solution
A better alternative is to look for some identifier you could use. I can only guess, since I don't know your code. In your sample code, I would guess that Codigo and the number following it 206415 might be some identifier. If it is, you could use it to anchor your context. First you select it:
//table[.//td[text()='Código:']/following-sibling::td='206415']
The expression above will select the table which contains a td with the exact text Código: followed by a td containing the exact text 206415. This will create a unique context (considering that the number is an unique identifier). From that context, you can now select the text you want, which is inside the next table (following-sibling::table[1]). This is the context of the second table:
//table[.//td[text()='Código:']/following-sibling::td='206415']/following-sibling::table[1]
And this should select the text you want (Grupo profissional:) which is in the third row tr[3] and first cell/column td[1] of that table:
//table[.//td[text()='Código:']/following-sibling::td='206415']/following-sibling::table[1]//tr[3]/td[1]/text()
I want to create an xpath for clicking on "run " (4th column) based on the first column value (xyz). the below xpath doesnt work. Can you suggest a better way of writing the xpath.
//table/tbody/tr/td[text()='xyz fix']/parent::tr/td[4]
<div id="main">
<table class="FixedLayout" width="1000px">
<tbody>
<tr></tr>
<tr>
<td class="RowHeight">
xyz
</td>
<td>xyz fix</td>
<td>1125</td>
<td>
Run
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="RowHeight">
abc
</td>
<td>abc fix</td>
<td>1125</td>
<td>
Run
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
I don't see why your one didn't work. Please clarify what it means "doesn't work". NoSuchElementException? ElementNotVisibleException? Wrong XPath? Not clicking the link or what?
Meanwhile, try the following XPaths (but the issue could be your Selenium code instead of XPath):
Here I assume you want to the <a> link instead of <td>, because you mentioned you want to click it.
Use XPath predicate:
//*[#id='main']//table/tobdy/tr[td[text()='xyz']]/td[4]/a
Use XPath predicate with attribute selector to avoid using index.
//*[#id='main']//table/tobdy/tr[td[text()='xyz']]//a[contains(#href, 'Instance/Create')]
Use .. to get the parent
//*[#id='main']//table/tobdy/tr/td[text()='xyz']/../td[4]/a
