Selenium xpath selector based on the element text

Question

What would a Selenium xpath selector be for the following HTML:

   
First
   
Second
   
Third<         


        

Answer 1

You can use like this:

//li[. = "Second"]

OR

//li[contains(., "Second")]

Here, contains mean that you can match the partial text, so below one is also correct:

//li[contains(., "Seco")]
