How do I create a custom selector from a div?

I want to reference text from this div:

<div class="markdown leading-normal"><b>Name:</b><br>
Charles<br>
<br>
<b>Email:</b><br>
charles@yahoo.com<br>
<br>
</div>

PAD is able to reference 'Name' and 'Email' as:

div[Id="acme"] > div[Class="flex min-h-screen"] > div[Class="content"] > div[Class="px-view py-view mx-auto"] > div[Class="relative"] > div[Class="mb-8"]:eq(0) > div > div[Class="card mb-6 py-3 px-6"] > div[Class="flex border-b border-40 -mx-6 px-6 remove-bottom-border"] > div[Class="w-3/4 py-4 break-words"] > div > div[Class="markdown leading-normal"] > b:eq(0)

('Name' is eq(0) and 'Email' is eq (1) ).

==============================

Since PAD skips 'Charles' and 'charles@yahoo.com', they're not listed as integers for eq(). Therefore, I need to find another way to reference them.

How do I do that? When I Inspect 'Charles', it says #text 68x27 - so I was thinking I could reference the #text somehow?

div[class="markdown leading-normal"]:contains("Name:") should give you a selector for the div containing the full text.

Hi @Henrik_M, referencing the full text gives me: "Name", "Charles", "Email:" and "charles@yahoo.com" as one value however.

I am trying to get each term as it's own separate value, if that makes sense. Thanks.

Since the two parts of the text are not contained in their own elements, I don't think it is possible.

Pull out the div, then regex parse to get the two values 🙂
