Finding header of webpage selenium C#

Question

I'm written a test which i'm now trying to enhance and make it do more things.

I understand how to find a title of a webpage by using the following code

String title = webDriver.Title;

But if i now want to also output the header of the page how would i go about doing this? This is the web URL: https://energy.gocompare.com/gas-electricity#/ I've found the element: Switch today and save on your energy bills

Can i use an XPath to find this? then Console.WriteLine the output?

You can use this code :

String element = webDriver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("h1.c-header__heading")).Text;
Console.WriteLine("This is the text extracted from " +element);

XPATH :

//h1[@class='c-header__heading']

In code, you can use it like :

String someText= webDriver.FindElement(By.XPath("//h1[@class='c-header__heading']")).Text;
Console.WriteLine("This is the text extracted from " +someText);

Can i create a loop so that it validates the output of the header. String header =webDriver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("h1.c-header__heading")).Text; if(header.Contains(header)) { Console.WriteLine("jriofjio"); } else { Console.WriteLine("incorrect"); }

No need to use loop , if you have only one text. Did that work for you ?
