XPath for text following other text?
I am a beginner in python. Sorry for this easy question, but I just cannot get the value. How can I get the number "10655140"?
<HEAD> <BASE target="_top"> <TITLE>United States Patent: 10655140</TITLE></HEAD> My code is below which doesn’t work.
html.xpath('//HEAD[contains(text(),"United States Patent")]//TITLE/text()') 
This XPath,
substring-after(/HEAD/TITLE, "United States Patent: ") will select the substring after "United States Patent: " in the string value of the TITLE child of the HEAD root element, as requested:
10655140 Note that the BASE open tag is not closed in your markup.
