Selenium xpath each element 5

Question

I use selenium and xpath selector. I know how to get a certain element. But how to use xpath to get each element 5?

Answer 1

You can always solve it in your language of choice.

Python

For example, in Python, the extended slicing allows to do it rather simply:

driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//table/tr")[0::5]

You can also use the position() function and the mod operator:

//table/tr[position() mod 5 = 0]

driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//table/tr[position() mod 5 = 0]")

---

Java

List<WebElement> elements=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//tbody/tr[position() mod 5 = 0]"));
System.out.println(elements.size());
for (WebElement element : elements) {
    System.out.println(element.getText());
}
