Hey Komal, to get the text of a web element in Selenium Webdriver you can use getText() method:

package getTextPackage;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class getTextTest {

 @Test
 public void testmethod(){
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Downloads\\Drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("https://www.google.com");
    String availableText = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='gbw']/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/a")).getText();
    System.out.println("Text Available is :"+availableText);
 }
}

use gettext()

in java : string lableText = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='lable1")).getText();


WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
WebElement theSpan = driver.findElement(By.id("spannyspan"));
String title = theSpan.getAttribute("title");
String label = theSpan.getText();
