how to pull href link
- by user1751494
I am trying to pull a link from a page that is in a formal I can't seem to find by simply googling... it might be simple but xpath is not my area of expertise
I am using c# and trying to pull the link and just write it to the console to figure out how to get the link
here is my C# code
var document = webGet.Load("http://classifieds.castanet.net/cat/vehicles/cars/0_-_4_years_old/");
var browser = document.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//a[starts-with(@href,'/details/')]");
if (browser != null)
{
string htmlbody = browser.OuterHtml;
Console.WriteLine(htmlbody);
}
the html code section is
<div class="last">…</div><a href="/cat/vehicles/cars/0_-_4_years_old/?p=13">13</a><a href="/cat/vehicles/cars/0_-_4_years_old/?p=2">»</a>
<select name="sortby" class="sortby" onchange="doSort(this);">
<option value="">Most Recent</option>
<option value="of" >Oldest First</option>
<option value="mw" >Most Views</option>
<option value="lw" >Fewest Views</option>
<option value="lp" >Lowest Price</option>
<option value="hp" >Highest Price</option>
</select><div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
<br /><br /><br />
