Finding a xpath for text which is followed by break tag

Question

I have below HTML code, in that I have to come up with XPath for the 2nd line of text: "Policy Count - 0".

<h2 id ="lblpremiumVol">
"Premium Volume - $"
<br>
"Policy Count - 0"
</h2>

How do I do that?

Answer 1

Your xpath would be //h2/text()[2]. See the test here.

P.S. - I have no idea why you need that xpath (since you're not mentioning that in your question) but as a side note: you will not be able to use this xpath with Selenium since Selenium cannot wrap a text node into a WebElement

If you need that for Selenium, use the following approach:

IJavaScriptExecutor js = (IJavaScriptExecutor)driver;
string title = (string)js.ExecuteScript("return document.evaluate('//h2/text()[2]', document, null, XPathResult.STRING_TYPE, null ).stringValue;");
