How to give multiple arguments to find element by css selector

Question

Hi I'm kind of new to selenium, so please bear with me if the question is too basic. I wanna access a date picker element and choose a specific date. I am trying to access the span element using both class and text inside. I get an error of invalid string. Is the syntax below correct?

_driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("span[class='xxx'][contains(text(),'xx')]"))

I think contains() is deprecated...edit: yes it is, read: w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#content-selectors — stackErr

If you could post here your HTML element, then we could provide the exact CSS selector. — LINGS

Looking at this cheatsheet

https://www.simple-talk.com/dotnet/.net-framework/xpath,-css,-dom-and-selenium-the-rosetta-stone/

I think it might be more like

_driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("span.CCC:contains('TTT')"));

where CCC is your class name and TTT is the text your looking for.
