Xpath to scrape date from google serp

[JaspalX]

Anyone managed to scrape the date from a google serp? I can get title, link etc. but the date just eludes me...please help! Here's an example of the kind of code google is returning:

I'm no xpath expert, but using the scraper extension for Google Chrome, I'm able to scrape the date just fine. Here's what the xpath output is showing:

//li/div/div/span/span

Seems like all of the dates are the only span with class="f", you should be able to drill down on that I think.

Are you scraping in Google Docs?

thanks, but the 'scrape similar' extension in chrome doesn't seem to behave in the same way as importxml on google docs or xpathonurl in niels bosma's seotools for excel
