Need A Little Xpath Help

[stanf 43]

can someone tell me how to isolate just the $14.99
 
 
  <p class="sale-price">
                    
                        $14.99
                        <span class="sale-was-price">
                            <s>$24.99</s>
                        </span>
                        <span class="sale-tag">Sale</span>
                    
                </p>

set(#newline,$replace("<p class=\"sale-price\">
                    
                        $14.99
                        <span class=\"sale-was-price\">
                            <s>$24.99</s>
                        </span>
                        <span class=\"sale-tag\">Sale</span>
                    
                </p>",$new line,$nothing),"Global")
alert($find regular expression(#newline,"(?<=<p class=\\\"sale-price\\\">  ).*(?=<span class=\\\"sale-was-price\\\">)"))

I dont know this will help you or not but I could not do it with xpath praser.

yes i know i can read in the document text and regex to list,

but that defeats the purpose of this exersise, as you can see the class atributes all share something "sale" or "price"

what i need to learn is how to call just the eliment that i want,

but thanx for the help

thats why i love this place, folks aint shy about helping to work out a problem

You can't extract only the first one just with Xpath.

 

Because the innertext for the element <p class="sale-price">  is one "object".

So it will return the complete thing.

 

But in Ubot it's easy.

 

Use xpath to get the innertext

//p[@class="sale-price"]

 

trim it

add to list

use first list item
