    Hello – On a site I’m trying to scrape, the post content is in two locations that have a very similar XPath. Can you tell me how to combine these two so I get both the content in p in the first one and div[3] in the second one?

    /html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[1]/p

    /html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[3]

    Thank you for the help!

    Hi, thanks for contacting us. Yes, you can do that. You’ll need to add a data field type custom variable, and select one part of content into it (/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[3]) – https://www.screencast.com/t/kflYHbnGn0g0
    And in post_content data field you can assign data from /html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[1]/p

    Now, click on Transform button in post_content field, goto Shortcodes tab and there you can add the Tags to merge – https://www.screencast.com/t/D53ccgWGn

    Hope this is clear. Let us know!
