XPATH getting text inside balise that contains balise which contains text
0
My html :
<div class="my class">
<p style="padding:3px;">
<b> Série :</b>
my text I need to got with my xpath expression
</p>
For now I have : '//div[@class="my class"]/p[b[contains(., 'Série :')]]' But the last part with the contains isn't working. I really need to say that i want the text from a balise p that contains balise b which contains text "Serie" because there is an other structures like that with the only difference being the text in that famous balise.

Yourbtag is not correct. Do you mean<b> Série :</b>? Also your XPath should have extra closing square bracket

To get only the text after the <b> tag, you can use an index on the text() node
//div[@class='my class']/p[contains(b, 'Série :')]/text()[2]
An alternative to this approach is using the following:: axis
//div[@class='my class']/p[contains(b, 'Série :')]/b/following::text()
Output in both cases is:
my text I need to got with my xpath expression

For information, the text I need to get back isn't in my balise b (she is closed) but in my balise p. I tried both ways and it still not working. result is none like my xpath won't find anything matching

That's interesting. Maybe your real file differs in some aspect from the sample, or your XPath program handlestext()nodes differently. However, good that you found a solution that works.
