For example this URL; http://jeffco.us/ats/displaygeneral.do?sch=001690 The the land sqft is 11082. Google Chrome gives me the xpath to that data as; //*[@id="content"]/p[1]/table[4]/tbody/tr[2]/td[8] What I would like to do (using python) is given 11082 at what xpath can that be found? (may be more that one) The examples I can find using google refer to, given xpath what is the value (the opposite of what I want) Vincent Davis On Tue, Dec 31, 2013 at 6:45 PM, Jason Friedman <jsf80...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I have a about 255 data fields that I am trying to verify on thousands of > > webpages. > > For example: > > value: 255,000 > > sqft: 1800 > > .... > > Since I have the correct answer for several pages I would like to lookup > get > > the location (xpath?) of the data/field value in the page so that I can > > check other pages. > > I'm not sure what you are looking for.
