Html – How to select a xpath based on a a sibling number

I have a table where i want to select a detail field based on the name.
For example i want to select a detail field based of the first John in the table (that is row 29).

username coll: usercard-table/div/div/div[2]///div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div[29]/div/div[3]/div/
details: usercard-table/div/div/div[2]///div[2]/div[2]/div/div[29]/div/div[3]/div/

How can i select the 29th row of the detail field based on a Name?

I have tried to use something like //div[2]/div/div[contains(.,’John)[1]]/div/div[3]/div

    Do you have a simple html example code?
    You can try wildcars:
    //*[contains(text(),'John')]
    (i add the second quote missing in your example)
    And if you have 29 elements that you can non distingate, so:
    (//*[contains(text(),'John')])[29]
