请求编写用于提取指定HTML中总页数（目标结果为111）的XPath表达式

Here's an XPath expression that will reliably pull out the total page number (111) from your provided HTML snippet:

normalize-space(substring-after(substring-before(//span[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_PagerControl1_litRecords']/text(), ']'), 'Total pages: '))

Breakdown of how it works: #

• Target the span element: //span[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_PagerControl1_litRecords'] uses the span's unique ID to pinpoint it accurately—this is the most reliable way to locate the element since IDs are intended to be unique.
• Retrieve the full text content: /text() grabs all the text inside the span: "Showing 1 - 500 of 55385 records. [Total pages: 111]".
• Isolate the total pages segment: substring-before(..., ']') captures everything up to the closing square bracket, resulting in "Showing 1 - 500 of 55385 records. [Total pages: 111".
• Extract the number portion: substring-after(..., 'Total pages: ') takes the text that follows the "Total pages: " label, giving us " 111" (there's a leading space here).
• Clean up extra whitespace: normalize-space() trims any leading or trailing spaces, leaving us with the clean numeric value "111".

Alternative (without normalize-space): #

If you’re confident the spacing around the number will always be consistent, you can skip the normalize-space() step—just note this will return the number with a leading space:

substring-after(substring-before(//span[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_PagerControl1_litRecords']/text(), ']'), 'Total pages: ')

You’d then need to trim that space in your code if required, but using normalize-space() is more robust to any unexpected spacing changes in the future.
