如何获取子元素的文本

Question

On this page , I want to enter "looked" or "gone", click the "spaCy Word Lemmatize" button, and then find the "Analysis Result" on the resulting page. I have the code to do everything but I can't isolate the result.

Original Text    Analysis Result
-------------    ---------------
looked           look
gone             go

This is the HTML result for 'looked':

<div class="span5 offset1">
    <h4>Original Text</h4>
    <p>
    looked
    </p>
</div>
<div class="span5">
    <h4>Analysis Result</h4>
    <p>
    look
    </p>
</div>

This is my code

array = []
myText = ["looked", "gone"]  # I post this array to website.

for a in range(0, len(myText)):

    x = driver.find_element_by_class_name("span5")
    array.append(x.text)

print b -> [u'Original Text\nlooked', u'Original Text\ngone']

How can I get only the result, "look" or "go"?

Answer 1

Answer is: locate all elements containing specific class and child p tag

element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[contains(@class, 'span5')]/p')
text = element.text

Answer 2

You can also use the following CSS Selector for that:

...
text = driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".span5>p").text
...

You can optimize your code:

array = []
elements = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(".span5>p")

for element in elements:

    array.append(element.text)

or more Pythonic:

array = [element.text for element in elements]

Hope it helps you!

Answer 3

As you post the following array to website:

myText = ["looked", "gone"] 

As per the resulten HTML DOM to extract the texts eg look , go etc, you can use the following solution:

my_elements = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("div.span5:not(.offset1) p")
my_array = [my_element.text for my_element in my_elements]
print(my_array)

Answer 4

I'm assuming that div elements are childs of another entity, this is in Java maybe you know how to make it in Python. I created a list of WebElements based on className and a tagName - in your case p tag, after that I'm printing the results.

List<WebElement> listofWords= driver.findElement(By.className("other_entity_ClassName_or_something_else")).findElements(By.tagName("p"));
    for (int i = 0; i < listofWords.size(); i++) {
        System.out.println(listofWords.get(i).getText());
    }

Thanks,
