Need to get the value which present under double quotes

Question

Search with word Food, but after searching it is displaying under double quotes as "Food".

Used.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("")).getText();

HTML:

<header class="search-top"> 
    <h1 id="results_header" class="home genrecontainer"> Search Results for 
        <span>"food"</span> 
    </h1> 
</header> 

Answer 1

Without seeing the html it is difficult to provide you with an xpath that achieves this. You can just use Javas subString() method to achieve this:

String text = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='results_header']/span")).getText();
String trimmedText = text.subString(1, text.length()-1);

Answer 2

First get the text under span tag:

String searchKey = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#results_header > span")).getText();

Now, use replaceAll() method to remove quotes:

String yourDesiredValueWithoutQuotes = searchKey.replaceAll("\"", "");
