If the child div is an immediate child of parent div - //div/div[contains(text(),'SOME_TEXT')]

If the child div is somewhere far inside the parent div - //div//div[contains(text(),'SOME_TEXT')] OR //div[contains(text(),'SOME_TEXT')]

I'm not so sure about JaSON's solutions, neither of them doesn't look like a valid xpath to me...

try this, it should work for you:

//div[div[contains(text(), 'Example_String')]]

Try this one:

'//div[contains(div,"Example_String")]

for child div or

'//div[contains(.//div,"Example_String")]

for descendant div
