             <div class="column-container clearfix">

                  <div class="column primary"...>

                      <div id="content">

Ok, that query is a bit long, but try:

//dns:html/dns:body/dns:div[@class="clearfix" and @id="container"]/dns:div[@class="column_container clearfix"]/dns:div[@class="column primary"]/dns:div[@id="content"]/dns:article[@class="businessweek"]/dns:div[@id="article_body" and @itemprop="articleBody"]

...and use a string cell as the return type.  Otherwise, use default settings.  Screenshots attached.

Hi, again

It works, you saved my life!!!!

I just need to make some adjustments because disse path is reading some labels with titles of news articles of other pages.

 

Thanks :)
