I had been trying to extract links from a class called "tim_new" . I have been given a solution as well.

Both the solution, snippet and necessary information is given here

The said XPATH query was "//a[@class='tim_new'], my question is, how did this query differentiate between the first line of the snippet (given in the link above and the second line of the snippet).

More specifically, what is the literal translation (in English) of this XPATH query.


Furthermore, I want to write a few lines of code to extract the text written against NSE:

<div class="FL gL_12 PL10 PT15">BSE: 523395 &nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp; NSE: 3MINDIA &nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp; ISIN: INE470A01017</div>

Would appreciate help in forming the necessary selection query.

My code is written as:

IEnumerable<string> NSECODE = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[@NSE:]");

But this doesnt look right. Would appreciate some help.
