Using XPATH to search text containing whitespace

Question

In

  Create Network Container         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

//td[matches(text(), '\s*Create\s+Network\s+Container\s*')]

To be honest this works for me in several evaluators I checked it in:

 //td[text() = 'Create Network Container']

Previous try was to match all potential space-like characters that might be there (perhaps it's not just a single whitespace there and that's why this simpliest solution doesn't give you proper results.
