Python - Scrapy - Contains

[Baggelhsk95]

Lets say we have this html, and we wanted to say if the tr in td contains EAN:, Print me the 2nd td in the same element

response.xpath('//strong[contains( text(), "EAN:")]/text()').extract()

<tr class="product-model">
   <td><strong>EAN:</strong></td>
   <td> 4048961089302</td>
</tr>

<tr class="product-model">
   <td><strong>Product.Nr.:</strong></td>
   <td> 83003</td>
</tr>

thank you :D

You can use the following-sibling axis to do this:

>>> sel = scrapy.Selector(text='''<tr class="product-model">
...    <td><strong>EAN:</strong></td>
...    <td> 4048961089302</td>
... </tr>
...
... <tr class="product-model">
...    <td><strong>Product.Nr.:</strong></td>
...    <td> 83003</td>
... </tr>''')
>>> sel.xpath('//td[contains(., "EAN:")]/following-sibling::td[1]/text()').get()
' 4048961089302'
