How to use xpath to get a specific text from a website

Question

Hello, I am new to selenium and am learning about Xpath, how can I use Xpath to locate a text in any website?

Answer 1

The task is to get the text using XPATH. XPath is a locator used to locate an element using the XML path. XPath stores the key-value pair similar to HTML tags.

So, inorder to find the Text all you need to do is:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'the text you are searching for')]"));

This way you can find the text you are looking for.
