Selenium XPath: How to find text within a span class tag?

Question

I have several objects that look exactly the same, except for the text within 'span class'. In the example below, I need to locate the phone number, '+15551234567':

<span class="contact-number">+15551234567 </span>

I have tried several css selectors and xpath queries and have not had much luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

css seletor for this:

span.contact-number

xpath:

//span[@class='contact-number']

or

//span[text()='+15551234567 ']

and you can get text from locator in that way:

webdriver.findElement(By.xpath("locatorHere")).getText();
