xpath - How to select following siblings having only classname and child text elements but not knowi-CodePudding

I'm trying to get all the <div > which are following siblings of the div with <div > and which has .//div/span[2] text = Pokémon. I want to stop as soon as I come across an other <div >.

When the dynamic page looks like this :

<div >

    <div >
        <div >
            <span ></span>
            <span >Ashes Reborn</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>

    <div >
        <div >
            <span ></span>
            <span >Yu-Gi-Oh!</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>

    <div >
        <div >
            <span ></span>
            <span >Pokémon</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>

I get my data with the following code because nothing is following Pokemon tournament :

//div[preceding-sibling::div[@ and .//div/span[2][contains(translate(., 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'),'pok')]]]

Returns all the desired divs :

<div >...</div>
<div >...</div>
<div >...</div>
<div >...</div>
<div >...</div>
<div >...</div>
<div >...</div>
<div >...</div>
<div >...</div>
<div >...</div>
<div >...</div>
<div >...</div>

But, the problem I'm having is that the ordering of tournaments is at random and I don't know if any other tournament will follow Pokemon's.

The webpage usually looks more like this :

<div >
    
    
    <div >
        <div >
            <span ></span>
            <span >Ashes Reborn</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    
    
    <div >
        <div >
            <span ></span>
            <span >Yu-Gi-Oh!</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>

    
    <div >
        <div >
            <span ></span>
            <span >Pokémon</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>

    
    <div >
        <div >
            <span ></span>
            <span >Magic: The Gathering</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    
    
    <div >
        <div >
            <span ></span>
            <span >Final Fantasy</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>


    <div >
        <div >
            <span ></span>
            <span >Keyforge</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div >...</div>
    <div >...</div>

    
</div>

Any help would be very appreciated !

CodePudding user response：

You can you this:

//div[not(@)][preceding-sibling::div[@][1][div/span[2][contains(.,'Pokémon')]]]

The trick is the predicate [1], it wil find the first preceding-sibling::div[@][1] and if that has your Pokémon string it will succeed.
