I want to get the text from this xpath:
//*[@id=“ds-rental-home-values”]/div/div[1]/div/div/div/p/text()[1]
There are two text nodes under p: text()[1] = $1,000 which is the value I want, and text()[2] = /mo
When I use storeText I get this stored “$1,000/mo” with quotations because of the line break.
Is there a way for me to just get text()[1] (without splitting with execute javascript sandbox)? If I can’t get it with storeText can I get it with storeAttribute?
I used a conditional like //*text[1][contains(.,"$")] and it found the 1,000/mo
And when I changed the above //*text[2][contains(.,"")] it did not return anything.
So I know the filtering on specific text nodes is functioning. But I can’t get storeText or storeAttribute to store and output a specific text node - it either pulls in all the text or none of it
I don’t know why the dollar sign ‘$’ is not showing up in the second contains expression above…
Why you can not use split function ?
Add split o replace command and you solve your problem
I don’t want to use split because it makes it longer. There is a way to reference different text nodes in xpath using text()[1], [2], … [n] but I can’t get it to return a specific node using storeText. It will only return the array of text nodes as a string it seems, if there are multiple nodes
Try this but it’s very complicates and you risk to need more and more time to do this simple work sourceextract sourcesearch
