Selenium xPath-通过部分文本定位元素

Question

I have following HTML code of my Page.

<div class="views-field-wbapi-data-value-2014 wbapi-data-value wbapi-data-value-first">
    <span class="field-content">
        <span>
            <a href="http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.TOTL/countries/SC?display=graph">
                <span class="human-readable"></span>
            </a>

And

<div class="views-field-wbapi-data-value-2014 wbapi-data-value wbapi-data-value-first">
    <span class="field-content">
        <span>
            <a href="http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD/countries/SC?display=graph">
                <span class="human-readable">91,400</span>
            </a>

I have come up with the following xpath to locate <span class="human-readable"></span> of the first HTML code block.

//div[@class='views-field-wbapi-data-value-2014 wbapi-data-value wbapi-data-value-first']/span/span/a/span

But when I run the above xpath, it gives me 2 matching nodes which is clear to me from the HTML code. There is a slight difference in href parameter of tag 'a'. The first code block contains "SP.POP.TOTL" and the second block contains "NY.GDP.MKTP.CD".

Is there any way I can access partial text of href parameter of 'a' tag and use it in my xpath to differentiate between the 2 blocks?

Note: I cannot use the following xpath: //a[@href='http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.TOTL/countries/SC?display=graph']/span because I am running a for loop on 40 different countries and every time text after '/countries/' , "SC" , changes. So I have to use partial text , independent of the country prefix.

Answer 1

use this as cssSelector:

a[href*='SP.POP.TOTL']>span.human-readable

use this in code like below:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[href*='SP.POP.TOTL']>span.human-readable"));

Answer 2

Have you tried using the contains function? You could try adding the following.

/a[contains(@href,'SP.POP.TOTL')]/span
