<?php 
<tr >
              <td><a href="URL">VTC</a><br/>I WANT THIS</td>
              <td class="paragraph not-important">2017-06-04 12:34</td>
              <td class="paragraph">0.00019500</td>

                <td class="grey not-important">
                  0.00019752
                  <br/>

                    <span class="green diff">+1.29%</span>
                </td>
                <td class="grey not-important">
                  0.00019752
                  <br/>

                    <span class="green diff">+1.29%</span>
                </td>
                <td class="grey ">
                  0.00019752
                  <br/>

                    <span class="green diff">+1.29%</span>
                </td>
            </tr> 


I am doing

PHP Code


<?php 
tree.xpath("//tr/td/text()") 


However I am getting all the numbers and everything. I just need the text "I WANT THIS" after the </br>. The way I am doing it now gives me everything. Note that there are loads of tr. I have just copied one here to make it easier to see.

Check out "BeautifulSoup" for python, then you can do kinda like this

Code

soup = BeautifulSoup(c.get("URL"), headers=headers).content, "lxml")
    tds = soup.findAll("td")
    for td in tds:
        l = BeautifulSoup(str(td), "lxml")
        l.find("a").next // Should get the element after the a

Thank you I fiddled with your code as it didn't originally work but now does.

Still would like it just a 1 liner.

PHP Code


<?php 
crypto_platform = tree.xpath("//tr/td/text()[preceding-sibling::br]") 


Its a temp solution :)

No problem, yeah I didn't test the code. Just wrote from the top of my head :)

Glad you got it to work!
