Question
How can I use this xPath with Html Agility Pack?
xPath:
//div[@class='test']/(text())[last()]
I've tried this code:
foreach (HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[@class='test']/(text())[last()]"))
{
test = node.InnerText();
}
Html:
<div class="test">
<ul>
<li><b>Test1</b>Test1 Text</li>
<li><b>Test2</b>Test2 Text</li>
</ul>
</div>
I need to extract "Test2 Text" without specific the ul tag in the xPath.
Accepted Answer
You can try using this XPath :
(//div[@class='test']//text()[normalize-space()])[last()]
//div[@class='test']//text()[normalize-space()] finds all non-empty text nodes within the div. And then, [last()] return only the last node from all found text nodes.
Working demo example (see it online here) :
var html = @"<div class='test'>
<ul>
<li><b>Test1</b>Test1 Text</li>
<li><b>Test2</b>Test2 Text</li>
</ul>
";
HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.LoadHtml(html);
HtmlNode node = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("(//div[@class='test']//text()[normalize-space()])[last()]");
Console.WriteLine(node.InnerText);
output :
Test2 Text
