Selenium WebDriver - how to verify multiple lines text

Question

I have an html page with following contents: ``` This is Login page.
Please click below link to Login.
Login ``` How can I verify all the static text above using one webdriver command? I tried these but none of it works :( ``` driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(.,'This is Login page.
Please click below link to Login')]")) driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(.,'This is Login page. Please click below link to Login')]")) ``` Anyone know how to do it?

Accepted Answer

You can do:

```
webDriver.findElement(By.id("<ID of center tag>")).getText().contains("This is Login page.Please click below link to Login.Login");
```

Feel free to use a locator of your choice instead of By.id.

Basically getText() of any WebElement returns the textual content of the node, stripped of all the HTML tags and comments.
