Question

Is there any way, how I can to identify two xpath values in one.

I have text located somewhere on web page, on another page it exists in same element, but has different xpath. See below two variants:

Variant1: .//*[@id='quote_1']/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/p[2] 

Variant2: .//*[@id='quote_1']/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[3]/span[2] 

I’m looking how I can combine these two xpath’s to one like the following:

xpath = Variant1 or Variant2;

Thank you.

The XPath union operator | is probably what you are asking for:

  .//*[@id='quote_1']/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/p[2]  
|
  .//*[@id='quote_1']/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[3]/span[2]

This XPath expressions selects the union of two nodesets:

• All nodes selected by .//*[@id='quote_1']/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/p[2]

• All nodes selected by .//*[@id='quote_1']/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[3]/span[2]
