how to specify which class to select with selenium (in python)

Question

I want to use the selenium module for python 3 to get some information from a website, that information is located in a class with the name "table_dark_green". Now the problem is that there are multiple elements on this site with the class name "table_dark_green", and selenium only stores the last element with that class name. Is there a way to specify which one i would like to use?

if you ll use xpath then you can specify number of class in square brackets like '//div[@class="table_dark_green"][2]' — Robert

You can use find_elements then specify the element:

# this returns a list of elements
table_elements = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("table_dark_green")
print(len(table_elements)) # print to see how meny elements are in he list
# you can specify the element in the list[0] or [1] ... [99]
print(table_elements[0].text)

Hope this helps you!
