Selenium: How to get list of child span elements given a xpath

I want to get all child span elements for the following xpath

//label[@for='someText']/span

This should return me

<span class="someClass">"Find this text"</span>
<span id="someId">"Find this text2"</span>

Basically, the number of nested span elements may change dynamically, in this case we have 2 span child elements, in some cases there can just be 1 or more span elements.

Goal:
The intention behind this is to fetch the text for all those elements for comparison purposes. Once i get those elements, I can iterate through each of them and based on their attributes I can fetch data i want.

Sample HTML format:

<label for="someText">
  <span class="nestedClass">
    <h2 id="id">
      <span>"Hello"</span>
    </h2>
    <span class="someClass">"Find this text"</span>
    <br>
    <span id="someId">"Find this text2"</span>
  </span>
</label>

Is there a way I can achieve this? Could someone please help me with this or any better approach in doing this?

Thank you.

Use either of the xpath should work for you.

List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//label[@for='someText']/span/span"));

Or ignore span tag who's parents h2

List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//label[@for='someText']/span//span[not(ancestor::h2)]"));

You could use following XPath:

//label[@for="someText"]/span/*[not(*)]/text()

Here predicate *[not(*)] will filter leaf span nodes.

You can loop through elements using the size() or simply iterate the list using the for loop.

List<WebElement> mySpans = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//label[@for='someText']/span//span"));
    	
    	int totalSpans = mySpans.size(); // This is the total count of spans - dynamic
    	
// or simply iterate the list of webelements using for loop
    	for(WebElement span : mySpans)
    	{
    		System.out.print(span.getText());
    	}
