i need to select a tag that contains an innertext i specify.
can anyone help me with the xpath query ie <a href="#">wake up</a>. So if i pass wake to the xpath, it should select this a link
You need to use ...text()... to get text nodes. To get all text nodes in the document, use ...//text().......From the ...specification...:...text()... matches any text node.
HTMLAgilityPack by default leaves options tags empty (you can see the author's reason for this at ...HtmlAgilityPack -- Does <form> close itself for some reason?...). To fix it, add this line before selecting the nodes:...HtmlNode.ElementsFlags.Remove("option");
For this kind of HTML manipulation, there's a great library called the ...HTML Agility Pack.......Here's a similar question which will point to the right direction: ...Html Agility Pack - Remove element, but not innerHtml
This code:... HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.Load(MyTextHtml);
HtmlNode node = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//p1/following-sibling::text()");
Console.WriteLine(node.InnerText.Trim());
...will output this:..."script text"
...Here is link on ...XPATH axes... that should get you started.
You can use the .../text()... option to get all text nodes directly under a specific tag. If you only need the first one, add ...[1]... to it:...page.LoadHtml(text);
var s = page.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[@id='div1']//div[@class='h1']/text()[1]");
string selText = s.InnerText;
You can create extension method for HtmlNode...public static class HtmlHelper
{
public static string InnerText(this HtmlNode node)
{
var sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (var x in node.ChildNodes)
{
if (x.NodeType == HtmlNodeType.Text)
sb.Append(x.InnerText);
if (x.NodeType =...
You need to set the ElementsFlag field for the option tag to make it work...HtmlNode.ElementsFlags["option"] = HtmlElementFlag.Closed;
HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.LoadHtml(html);
...which should return your original HTML code....I believe the reason that HtmlAgilityPack behaves this way is because the ...<option>...-tag is ...ironic...
this is a bit dirty, but should work. ...Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
Dim mystring As String = "<br>Terms of Service<br></br>Developers<br>"
Dim pattern1 As String = "(?<=<br>)(.*?)(?=<br>)"
Dim pattern2 As String = "(?<=</br>)(.*)(?=<br>)"
Dim m1 As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(mystring, pattern1)
Dim m2 As Match...
You need the value of one node. Therefore it is better to use ...SelectSingleNode... method....HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
var doc = web.Load("http://www.fuchsonline.com");
var link = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[@id='footertext']/p");
string rawText = link.InnerText.Trim();
string decodedText = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(text); // or Web...
