Retrieve Text Between Two Child Elements With Text

Question

I'm wondering if there is any way to easily retrieve text that is sandwiched between two child elements with text? In this particular case, I'm looking to extract the text USD.

<div class="indemandProgress-raised ng-binding">
    <span class="indemandProgress-raisedAmount ng-binding" gogo-test="raised">
        $6,811,034
    </span>
    USD
    <span class="ng-binding">
        total funds raised
    </span>
</div>

Actual Format of Code in Browser

<div class="indemandProgress-raised ng-binding">
<span class="indemandProgress-raisedAmount ng-binding" gogo-test="raised">$6,811,034</span> USD <span class="ng-binding">total funds raised</span>
</div>

Is this possible with XPATH alone or would I have to extract all of the text and then parse it?

It has to work with Selenium.

You've already accepted answer, but note that text.split()[1] is quite unreliable solution and it might not be applicable in other (in most) cases. For instance, if first text node contains spaces

$ 6,811,034

You can try this solution:

element = browser.find_element_by_class_name('indemandProgress-raisedAmount')
result = browser.execute_script('return arguments[0].childNodes[2].textContent;', element).strip()

Note that div has following 5 child nodes:

1. Empty string (index 0)
2. span node (index 1)
3. Text node "USD" (index 2)
4. Another span (index 3)
5. Another empty string (index 4)

You need to get text content of third child node and childNodes[2].textContent allows you to do that
