XPath Queries

evansh

Hello All,

I'm trying to extract several values from html files that I pulled from DrugBank.com using the Web Crawling operator. For your reference, each file in my folder resembles the following web page: http://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB01048

I've managed to use the Extract Information Operator and XPath queries to successfully pull values such as "Mechanism of Action" and "Indication", and add them as attributes in an example set. However, I'm failing again and again to do the same for the "Categories" field. I'd ideally like to extract the "button label" on the hyperlink, not the URL. So for the example page above I'd like to create two new attributes with the values "Anti-HIV Agents" and "Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors". However, I'm consistently getting either blank columns or question marks.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
