Use this as a document:

<html>
<tr><td>asdf</td><td><input type="text"/></td></tr>
<tr><td>qwer</td><td><input type="text"/></td></tr>
<tr><td>rtyu</td><td><input type="text"/></td></tr>
<tr><td>fghj</td><td><input type="text"/></td></tr>
</html>

Use this as a xpath expression:

//tr/td[text()="asdf"]//following-sibling::td

Here is a nice page where you can test it online and play around till you've got the correct syntax: http://www.mizar.dk/XPath/Default.aspx

Take look at the following-sibling xpath example and the Selenium locator reference.
