I'm trying to write an xpath to click on this button highlighted , it seems to be the most unique thing

 

I just need a few examples then I should be able to work it out myself from then on

 

<button id="button" class="style-scope yt-icon-button" aria-label="More actions">
      <yt-icon class="style-scope ytd-menu-renderer"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" focusable="false" class="style-scope yt-icon" style="pointer-events: none; display: block; width: 100%; height: 100%;"><g class="style-scope yt-icon">
        <circle cx="5" cy="12" r="2" class="style-scope yt-icon"></circle><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="2" class="style-scope yt-icon"></circle><circle cx="19" cy="12" r="2" class="style-scope yt-icon"></circle>
      </g></svg>
    
    
  </yt-icon>
    </button>

The best way and fastest way is to get "xpath builder pro" software from Dan.. It is free now..

 

Actually it's not free. You get it with your ExBrowser license :-)

And it works fantastic - if you know what your doing lol . I spent a good part of a hour working through it - checking stack overflow

 

so incase anyone wants to do a similar thing heres how I figured it out

 

Example form SO

"//button[contains(@class,\"CalendarDay__button\") and contains(@aria-label,\"Choose monday, february 5 2018 as your check-in date. It's available.\")]"

I then narrowed it down to the nearest : as in =

 

//*[@id=nearest]//button[contains(@attribute1, \"content1\") and contains(@attribute2, \"content2\")]

 

So by starting with a semi-difficult problem I now have the skills to romp through the more simple ones.
