How to identify the nth sub element using xpath?

We can identify the nth sub element using xpath in the following ways −

• By adding square brackets with index.

• By using position () method in xpath.

Example

import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.Keys; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; public class SubElement {    public static void main(String[] args) {       System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\chromedriver.exe");       WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();       String url = "https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm";       driver.get(url);       driver.manage().window().maximize();       driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);       // xpath using position() targeting the first element with type text       driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='text'][position()=1]"))       .click();       driver.close();    } }

Example

import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.Keys; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; public class RowCount {    public static void main(String[] args) {       System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\chromedriver.exe");       WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();       String url = "https://www.tutorialspoint.com/plsql/plsql_basic_syntax.htm";       driver.get(url);       driver.manage().window().maximize();       driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);       // xpath with index appended to get the data from the row 2 of table       List<WebElement> rows =       driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table/tbody/tr[2]/td"));       System.out.println(“The number of data in row 2 is “+ rows.size());       driver.close();    } }
