The below code snippet will help in extracting text from a webpage using Selenium and saving it as a text file.



import java.io.File;

import java.io.IOException;


import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;


public class ExtractText {


 static WebDriver driver;


 @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")

 public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {


  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chrome_driver_path");


  driver = new ChromeDriver();

  driver.manage().window().maximize();

  driver.get("https://www.edureka.co/devops");

  

  String output = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div[5]/div/div/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div")).getText();

  File DestFile= new File("extractedFilePath");

  FileUtils.writeStringToFile(DestFile, output);

  driver.close();

 }
