How to get text of td element using selenium?

I have an html table. I need to get the text of a td element with selenium.

Html structure:

<table id="myTable">
    <tbody>
     <tr>
      <td>
       <b>Success: </b>
       You have transferred 1,000.00 USD to DIST2. Your balance is now 19,979,000.00 USD.  ref: 2017011806292760301000301
      </td>
     </tr>
     </tbody>
    </table>

I tried using driver.findElement(By.xpath("//table[@id='myTable']/tbody/tr/td")).getText();

It is returning blank string. I need to get "You have transferred 1,000.00 USD to DIST2. Your balance is now 19,979,000.00 USD. ref: 2017011806292760301000301" from it. I think the td element contains a tag that is why it is not returning the value.

Is there any way to fetch the value?

HTML table is given and you need to get td text from the table.

URL for dummy HTML table : "https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-series/3130/indian-premier-league-2020/points-table"

If you need to fetch the text of first column (i.e Teams name) following is the code:

  List<String> ls = new ArrayList<String>();
   List<WebElement> rowSize= 
   driver.findElements(By.xpath("//td[@class='cb-srs-pnts- 
   name']"));

   for (int i = 0; i < rowSize.size(); i++) {
        ls.add(rowSize.get(i).getText());
        System.out.println(rowSize.get(i).getText());
    }

ArrayList is used for adding all text to the list.

Use the following xpath (java code) -

String result = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='myTable']//td[contains(.,'You have transferred')]")).getText();

Your locator is correct. Try getAttribute("innerHTML") instead of getText()

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//table[@id='myTable']/tbody/tr/td")).getAttribute("innerHTML");
