You need to show your code for somebody to give a complete answer. I guess that you already know how to do something like the following

WebElement something = driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector(?))
string s = something.Text;

The next bit seems to be where you are stuck. There you need to parse the string s. That is nothing to do with Selenium-Webdriver. You could do something like

string[] s2 = s.split(new string[] ">","<");

were the last element in s2 would be your answer here. This would be totally non generic though. Is this a situation in which you always want to purge html?

Here is the method developed in python.

def get_text_exclude_children(element):
 return driver.execute_script(
 """
 var parent = arguments[0];
 var child = parent.firstChild;
 var textValue = "";
 while(child) 
 if (child.nodeType === Node.TEXT_NODE)
 textValue += child.textContent;
 child = child.nextSibling;
 
 return textValue;""",
 element).strip()

How to use in this:

liElement = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//li")
liOnlyText = get_text_exclude_children(liElement)
print(liOnlyText)

Please use your possible strategy to get the element, this method need an element from which you need the text (without children text).
