Unable to locate elements inside another element using selenium python

Question

I need to scrape a website with a structure like this:

<table>
    <tbody>
    <tr>
    <td>
    <p>
        <a href="href1">Text1</a>
        <a href="href2">Text2</a>
        <a href="href3">Text3</a>
        .   .    .
        .   .    .
    </p>
    <p> .  .  . </p>
    # More <p> elements with <a> as childrens
    </td>
    <td> .  .  . </td
    # More <td> elements
    </tr>
    <tr> .  .  . </tr>
    </tbody></table>

I want to get these <a> elements (text and href). The code that I have is:

elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//table")
elems = elem.find_elements_by_xpath("./p/a")
print(len(elems))
for i in elems:
    print(i.text)
    time.sleep(4)

The length of elems prints 0 so basically the elements are not found. I have tried ./a alone also instead of ./p/a but same result. I am new to selenium so please help.

Answer 1

try to use xpath

for getting all a tag elements

//table//tbody//child::p[1]//a

for getting specific a tag element

//table//tbody//child::p[1]//a[1]
//table//tbody//child::p[1]//a[2]
//table//tbody//child::p[1]//a[3]

Answer 2

You can find all the texts by using the code:

elements = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//a[contains(@href,'href')]")
for element in elements:
    print(element.text)
