XPATH

[regex]

I am trying to use XPath to normalize the name of a dynamic element.

Code: Select all

.//div[#ID']/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]/iframe//a[#'IDctl00_ctl38_Btn']

This 38 changes based on row number. I want to use ~[0-9] so that it accepts any number and therefore finds it.

How? Like this? But it doesn't work:

.//div[#ID']/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]/iframe//a[@text~'IDctl00_ctl[0-9]_Btn']

But it's not finding the item.

[sham526]

First Try This(matches all elements starting with text value ldc):

.//div[#ID']/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]/iframe//a[@text~'(?i:ldc.*)']

If Not then Try this(Case insensitive)

.//div[#ID']/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]/iframe//a[@text~'(?i:ldctl00_ct[0-9)_btn']
