Return Innertext using Regex

Post by theraviz » Tue Jul 14, 2020 10:34 am

Hi,

I need to get the inner text of an element having numbers and alhpabets as numbers only.

Is there a way to apply regular expression in the Xpath and then return the Innertext only with Numbers?

Hi,

Sure, there is always a way to achieve what you want. Just please post a Ranorex snapshot (not screenshot) of the problematic element. And don’t forget to specify, what exactly you want to get from given element. Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. I have attached the ranorex snapshot of the element (which is a TD). Here the innertext of the TD is 28.5067 USD.
I want to add this element to the repository and get the innertext as 28.5067 only by removing the USD.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I’m not behind my PC, but give a try regex from this post...

Just replace GB with USD. Hope this helps? 😉

Here is another option:

Code: Select all

\d+.\d+
https://regex101.com/r/hxZtdj/1

In English, this matches: (Any number of digits).(Any number of digits)
\d = Any single digit
+ = Match 1 or more digits

Cheers,
Ned
