How to find text with Selenium - python

Guys I need to know how to find a text with Selenium, this one for example:
Test
I can get the text with the following code:
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[text()="Test"]'))).text
But I need to get a text in the following format:
"Key" "email#gmail.com"
I need to be able to get the above text, remembering the email and password may be different depending on the case, so I would like to get the full value of the string from the .com of the string, since the email will always have a .com, so in this case , I need to be able to find the .com and after finding me return the full value of the string.


Use contains in xpath to find a text that has .com. You can also use ends-with. The xpath would be something like this:
//*[contains(text(),'.com')]
Or
//*[ends-with(text(),'.com')]

How can I get the text from a class with no name?

This is the HTML I am trying to get the text 'RCOVE12776' from
<span class="">SKU</span>
": "
"RCOVE12776"
the code I am using to try and get it is:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#class=""]/[text()="SKU"]').text
I feel like I'm missing something very simple here, also there may be multiple to catch so I would need to find all the text from all the classes "" that contains SKU

If you have control over the original HTML code, use an attribute id instead of a class, and then use the driver to find the element with the id.

Try this code to get required text:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[span[#class="" and .="SKU"]]').text.split(':')[-1]

Scraping text; I'm not sure the Google Chrome Inspect element is giving me the correct XPath. Where can I get the correct path?

Here, I want to scrape a website called "fundsnetservices.com." Specifically, I want to grab the text below each program — it's about a paragraph's worth of text.
Using the Google Chrome Inspect method, I was able to pull this...
'/html/body/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/p[2]/text()'
... as the xpath. However, every time I print the text out, it returns [ ]. Why might this be?
response = urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.fundsnetservices.com/searchresult/30/International-Grants-&-Funders/18.html')
tree = etree.HTML(response.read().decode('utf-16'))
text = tree.xpath('/html/body/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/p[2]/text()')

It seems your code returns whitespace nodes. Correct your XPath with :
//p[#class="tdclass"]/text()[3]

How to extract number from HTML Xpath

Please consider this statement :
hxs.select('//span[#class="product-count"]')
It selects span which is recognized by product-count. It returns correct html path which is :
HtmlXPathSelector xpath='//span[#class="product-count"]' data='<span class="product-count">2160</span>
I want to extract this specific number 2160 using regex or any other method. I treated it as string and tried getting the number using regex but that didn't work, probably because it is not a string and rather an xpath.
Thanks in advance.

Try this:
number = response.xpath('//span[#class="product-count"]/text()').get()

Unable to find element using the following Xpath

I am trying to find the input type with statusid_103408 and with text() Draft
here is the xpath i am using, not sure where I am going wrong
//input[#name='statusid_103408' and contains(text(), 'Draft')]

The reason this xpath does not work is because the text of "Draft" is not actually a property of the input element. It is contained in the li element that is the parent. Therefore, your search is returning no results.
I suggest just using the name only in your xpath search (if it unique). If you definitely need the text in your search, you can search the li item's text first, then find your input, like so:
//li[text()='Draft']/input[#name='statusid_103408']

Use Value it will work , because value is unique, text is not inside the input tag!

How to Collect the line with Selenium Python

I want to know how I can collect line, mailto link using selenium python the emails contains # sign in the contact page I tried the following code but it is somewhere works and somewhere not..
//*[contains(text(),"#")]
the emails formats are different somewhere it is <p>Email: name#domain.com</p> or <span>Email: name#domain.com</span> or name#domain.com
is there anyway to collect them with one statement..
Thanks

Here is the XPath you are looking for my friend.
//*[contains(text(),"#")]|//*[contains(#href,"#")]

You could create a collection of the link text values that contain # on the page and then iterate through to format. You are going to have to format the span like that has Email: name#domain.com anyway.
Use find_elements_by_partial_link_text to make the collection.

I think you need 2 XPath. First XPath for finding element that contains text "Email:", second XPath for element that contains attribute "mailto:".
//*[contains(text(),"Email:")]|//*[contains(#href,"mailto:")]
