How To Extract Specific Text With Imacros Xpath

I have this code in a website:

text I want to extract text I don't want to extract

I'm using t

Solution 1:

For your Specific case Shugar's code with some tweaking will work. Split \n and extract [1] :

TAG XPATH="id('1234')/li[1]" EXTRACT=TXT
SET !EXTRACT EVAL("'{{!EXTRACT}}'.split('\\n')[1];")
PROMPT {{!EXTRACT}}

If you want a more General approach you can get li[1] and split by content of span at [0]:

TAG XPATH="id('1234')/li[1]" EXTRACT=TXT
SET !VAR1 {{!EXTRACT}}
SET !EXTRACT NULL 
TAG XPATH="id('1234')/li[1]/span" EXTRACT=TXT
SET !EXTRACT EVAL("'{{!VAR1}}'.split('{{!EXTRACT}}')[0];")
PROMPT {{!EXTRACT}}

Solution 2:

I suggest just adding one more line in your code:

TAG XPATH="id('1234')/li[1]" EXTRACT=TXT
SET !EXTRACT EVAL("'{{!EXTRACT}}'.split('<span>')[0];")
