使用 Python XPath lxml package 刮掉<span>标签</span>中的文字

Question

I am trying to get the text from a tag on a web page. Using Chrome's Inspect element feature, I see that the text I want is in the following:

<span id>
    <b> Armor Class </b>
    " 12"
</span>

All I want is the text " 12" from the above. To this end, I have the following python code:

from lxml import html
import requests, os, json
page = requests.get(webString)
tree = html.fromstring(page.content)

monsterArmor = tree.xpath('/html/body/div[1]/span[2]/text()')
print(monsterArmor)

Where the path present in monsterArmor is a result of copy/pasting the path from Chrome's Inspect element feature.

When I print it though, it returns an empty list, [ ]. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have seen similar questions, but they all seem to involve etree and the examples given all seem to have information hardcoded into them, rather than scraping it.

EDIT: Here is a screenshot of the page information from Chrome's Inspect:

Answer 1

Try something like:

for el in tree.xpath('//span[./b[.="Armor Class"]]/text()'):
   print(el)

The output should be 12 .
