❔ Scrape with HtmlAgilityPack

Hi. I'm trying to get the values on line 5 and 14. I've tried to get the span by class. However the InnerText is just an empty string.

var desc = childNode.SelectSingleNode("(//span[contains(@class, 'ux-textspans')])");

var desc = childNode.SelectSingleNode("(//span[contains(@class, 'ux-textspans')])");

Other spans on the site has id's which makes it a lot easier, but I can't figure out how to retrieve the value, when multiple spans has the same class. In this case there is 11 "fields/properties" listed with the same class. And I would only need some of them.

<div class=\"ux-layout-section-evo__col\">
   <div class=\"ux-labels-values__labels\">
      <div class=\"ux-labels-values__labels-content\">
         <div>
            <span class=\"ux-textspans\">Condition</span>
         </div>
      </div>
   </div>
   <div class=\"ux-labels-values__values\">
      <div class=\"ux-labels-values__values-content\">
         <div>
            <span class=\"ux-expandable-textual-display-block-inline\">
               <span data-testid=\"text\">
               <span class=\"ux-textspans\">New with tags: A brand-new, unused, and unworn item (including handmade items) in the original ... </span>

<div class=\"ux-layout-section-evo__col\">
   <div class=\"ux-labels-values__labels\">
      <div class=\"ux-labels-values__labels-content\">
         <div>
            <span class=\"ux-textspans\">Condition</span>
         </div>
      </div>
   </div>
   <div class=\"ux-labels-values__values\">
      <div class=\"ux-labels-values__values-content\">
         <div>
            <span class=\"ux-expandable-textual-display-block-inline\">
               <span data-testid=\"text\">
               <span class=\"ux-textspans\">New with tags: A brand-new, unused, and unworn item (including handmade items) in the original ... </span>

If I do like this I get the prop value I need, however I would also need the line 14 field.

var desc = childNode.SelectSingleNode("./div/div/div/div/span[contains(@class, 'ux-textspans')]").InnerHtml;

var desc = childNode.SelectSingleNode("./div/div/div/div/span[contains(@class, 'ux-textspans')]").InnerHtml;

But there must be a better way than doing this 😄

Why u didnt use "query selecor' istead of "childNode.SelectSingleNode" if u want get text of this elem "var desc = childNode.SelectSingleNode("./div/div/div/div/span[contains(@class, 'ux-textspans')]").InnerHtml;" I recommend use query selector and change path to "//div/span[contains(@class, 'ux-textspans')]"
