Xpath text extraction between 2 keywords - xpath

Question

Is there an xpath expression that return the text available between 2 keywords?
For example we have a span like the following:
<b>Specialty: </b>PO<br/><b>Job Function: </b>RN<br/><br/><b>Qualifications/Duties</b><br/>Texas Health Presbyterian Allen is currently in search of a Registered Nurse to help meet the growing needs of our Day Surgery Department to work PRN in Day Surgery and also float to PACU.<br/><br/><b>Basic Qualifications:</b><br/><br/>*Graduate of an accredited school of nursing<br/>*Valid RN license in the state of Texas<br/>*BLS<br/>*ACLS<br/>*PALS within 6 months of hire<br/>*Minimum of 1 - 3 years experience as RN in Day Surgery, PACU, Outpatient Surgery, or ICU<br/>*Strong organizational skills and ability to function in a fast paced work environment<br/>*Ability to accept responsibility and show initiative to work without direct supervision<br/>*A high degree of confidentiality, positive interpersonal skills and ability to function in a fast-paced environment<br/><br/><b>Preferred Qualifications:</b><br/><br/>*Three years RN experience in Outpatient Surgery along with some ICU experience.<br/>*PALS<br/>*PACU , Endoscopy or Ambulatory setting<br/>*IV Conscious Sedation<br/><br/><b>Hours/Schedule:</b><br/><br/>*Variable<br/><br/>J2WPeriop<br/><br/><b>Entity Information</b><br/>Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Allen is a 73-bed, acute-care hospital serving the northern Collin County area since 2000.

I would like to know if we can define an xpath to return all the text that is available between 2 keywords say "Qualifications/Duties" and "Entity Information"

Answer 1

Yes, but don't expect a nicely formatted output, the markup is messy and the expression might need some slight tweaks for whether you also want the nodes with "Basic Qualifications:" or not (this version skips them, it only takes "naked" text nodes).
//text()[preceding-sibling::*[text()='Qualifications/Duties'] and following-sibling::*[text()='Entity Information']]
And it means:
//text()
SELECT EVERY TEXT NODE
[
THAT
preceding-sibling::*[text()='Qualifications/Duties']
IS PRECEDED BY A NODE WITH TEXT = "Qualifications/Duties"
and following-sibling::*[text()='Entity Information'
AND FOLLOWED BY A NODE WITH TEXT = "Entity Information"
]
the output for your example:
Texas Health Presbyterian Allen is currently in search of a Registered Nurse to help meet the growing needs of our Day Surgery Department to work PRN in Day Surgery and also float to PACU.
