XPath for href links based on anchor text substring

Question

I have this HTML and I need to make an XPath to find all the "A1" text and get the href of all those elements of the page. It has multiple A1 s in the page but I need all the href s.

I can't crack it.

<a href="./leitor.do?numero=20090&amp;keyword=ministro&amp;anchor=5975889&amp;origem=busca" class="edition" title="Folha de S.Paulo">

Answer 1

This XPath,

//a[contains(.,"A1")]/@href

will return all href attributes on a elements with string values that contain an "A1" substring.

Answer 2

You don't have to use XPath for that. You can use driver.find_elements_by_partial_link_text("A1") , and on each of the returned element, call element.get_attribute("href")

You can combine it to one line as follows:

all_hrefs=[el.get_attribute("href") for el in driver.find_elements_by_partial_link_text("A1")]
