How to get text from span class in selenium

<th>     
    <span class="firstLanguage">Zeit</span>
</th>
<th>
    <span class="firstLanguage">Nach</span>
</th>
<th>
    <span class="firstLanguage"> </span>
</th>
<th>
    <span class="firstLanguage">Über</span>
</th>
<th>
    <span class="firstLanguage">Gleis</span>
</th>

How can I extract the text from span tags in selenium. Is it via classname, but all four class = "firstLanguage"

You can try below snippet.

 int count = selenium.getXpathCount("//span[@class='firstLanguage']").intValue();
 for(int i =1 ; i <= count ; i ++){
         System.out.println(selenium.getText("//span["+i+"]"));
 }

This will return you all the span elements defined by the class firstLanguage and you can iterate the list to take text out of them.

Better implementation would be by making use of findElements, please check below code

List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.className("firstLanguage"));
for(WebElement element : elements){
   System.out.println(element.getText());
}

You can also make use of other locators as below

xpath = //th//span[@class='firstLanguage']

css = th span[class='firstLanguage']

Using this code:

 List<WebElement> elements =driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*/div/table/tbody/tr/th/span"));
            for(WebElement ele:elements)
            {
            System.out.println(ele.getText());
            }

will display all the elements.

I believe you can use the nth-child pseudoclass to do that, for example

.firstLanguage:nth-child(2)

driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/span")).getText();

will display "Zeit"

driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/span[2]")).getText();
will display "Nach"

likewise


driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/span[5]")).getText();
will display "Gleis"
