How to extract the text content of an element using XPath in Selenium?

I have a setup that looks like this :

<div class="content">
    <h3 class="faq">Joocey</h3>
        Locked Bag 4005
        <br> 
        6/78 William Street
        <br>
        Sydney NSW 2000
        <br> Customer Care: <a href="tel:1300886534">1300886534</a><br>
        or<br> <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="4028252c30002a2f2f2325396e232f2d6e2135">[email protected]</a><br> <br>
        <div class="greenbar">
            <a href="/Stores">See All Stores <i class="icon-chevron-right icon-white pull-right">    </i</a>
        </div>
                    <!--greenbar-->

                    <!--main_footer-->
</div>

How do I single out each individual text line within the div[@class="content"] ?

For instance, I need to extract : "Joocey", "Locked Bag 4005", "6/78 William Street", "SydneyNSW 2000", "Customer Care:", "1300886534".

I attempted 

"//div[@class='content'][text()[2]]"
to specifically target "Locked Bag 4005" but it ends up selecting all the text. Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

Answer №1

When using DOM selectors to choose text, there is no consideration for individual "lines".

To work with the text within div[@class="content"], you will need to retrieve all of it and treat it as a string. Divide it based on new-line characters, then access the array that is produced.
