    Below xpath up to the word overview is found fine in the document
    .//*[@class='report-container' and not(contains(@style,     "none"))]/descendant::*[contains(@class, 'table-patient-report-overview')]/descendant::table/tbody /tr[ td[descendant-or-self::*[text()='Site-1-R-4-PatientsReport-7782']] and td[descendant-or-self::*[text()[normalize-space()='2']]] and td[descendant-or-self::*[text()[normalize-space()='2']]] and td[descendant-or-self::*[text()[normalize-space()='1']]] and td[descendant-or-self::*[text()[normalize-space()='0']]] ]

    However, i need to get the text for Site-1-R-4-PatientsReport-7782. This is also in the document albeit elsewhere. What would be a most efficient xpath selector to dig it out?

    Sorry still getting used to xpaths so please advise if i can make this clearer

    I think it might just be the syntax that's catching you, try "/text()" maybe?

    If you could post some of the html that might help (obviously you might not be allowed to!)
