I want to select text() within each row in the following HTML. However, the text I want is either in the td element or the p element, so I have to write two statements to ensure each row is selected.
How do I combine the two statements into one?
XPATH:
//table/tr/td[not(p)]/text() | //table/tr/td/p/text()
With the result desired:
['1', '2', '3', '4']
Original html:
<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>2
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>4
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Probably you want something like this:
All non-whitespace-only text nodes one or more levels deep in the
//table/tr/td
will be found.
