how to extract text value using jsoup

Question

I am trying to extract a text value that comes right after CheckBoxIsChecked="t"

p  > w|Sdt[CheckBoxIsChecked$='t']

but it seems like jsoup is ignoring it, I am not sure how to read the text that comes after this I can do it using java but I am trying to make it generic is there something like:

p  > w|Sdt[CheckBoxIsChecked$='t']  > first text after...

in this example the value needed is:
I Need this value since CheckBoxIsChecked is true

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">
<w:Sdt CheckBox="t" CheckBoxIsChecked="t" >
    <span style="font-family:&quot;MS Gothic&quot;">y</span>
</w:Sdt> I Need this value since CheckBoxIsChecked is true 
<w:Sdt CheckBox="t" CheckBoxIsChecked="f" >
    <span style="font-family:&quot;MS Gothic&quot;">n</span>
</w:Sdt> This is not needed since CheckBoxIsChecked is false 
<w:Sdt CheckBox="t" CheckBoxIsChecked="f">
    <span style="font-family:&quot;MS Gothic&quot;">n</span>
</w:Sdt> This is not needed since CheckBoxIsChecked is false<o:p/>

You can use Element.ownText() method to extract text laying next to specific tag. Below you can find an example created based on your example:

import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String html = "<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal\">\n" +
                "<w:Sdt CheckBox=\"t\" CheckBoxIsChecked=\"t\" >\n" +
                "    <span style=\"font-family:&quot;MS Gothic&quot;\">y</span>\n" +
                "</w:Sdt> I Need this value since CheckBoxIsChecked is true \n" +
                "<w:Sdt CheckBox=\"t\" CheckBoxIsChecked=\"f\" >\n" +
                "    <span style=\"font-family:&quot;MS Gothic&quot;\">n</span>\n" +
                "</w:Sdt> This is not needed since CheckBoxIsChecked is false \n" +
                "<w:Sdt CheckBox=\"t\" CheckBoxIsChecked=\"f\">\n" +
                "    <span style=\"font-family:&quot;MS Gothic&quot;\">n</span>\n" +
                "</w:Sdt> This is not needed since CheckBoxIsChecked is false<o:p/>";

        Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);

        doc.select("p > w|sdt[checkboxischecked=t]").forEach(it -> {
            String text = it.ownText();
            System.out.println(text);
        });

    }
}
