Extracting a <span> tag that contains a text

Question

I'm trying to extract a span tag like this:

<span>Price: $500</span>

What's wrong with doc.xpath('//span[@contains(text(), "Price")]/text()')?

It's saying it's an invalid expression.

Answer 1

Try this :

//span[starts-with(name(), 'Price')]/text()

or

//span[starts-with(., 'Price')]/text()

or

//span[contains(., 'Price')]/text()

or

//span[contains(name(), 'Price')]/text()
