How to capture a row in a website using Xpath?

Hi @Semih Öztürk​ ,

Could you try converting the date to string using the format yyyyMMdd and passing that into the xpath?

//a[contains(text(),'strDate')]

Kind Regards,

Also, the attribute must have '@' prefixed to it.

//a[@href='/Carrier/PC_565367379/HOT_DAILY/HOT_20.3_20150215.zip']

Hi @Ashwin A.K​ 

Yeah i got the idea, it just should select the link which has that date i write there.

it didnt capture in last days either.

i tried this but it didnt work either, //a[href='/Carrier/PC_565367379/HOT_DAILY/HOT_20.3_20150215.zip'}

Hi @Semih Öztürk​ ,

The closing bracket should be square as well, could you make that change and try once more?

If that doesn't work either, then you have to find an anchor, maybe a title and them travel ahead using child or following-sibling.

Here is a post for further reading on the subject.

Hi @Ashwin A.K​ 

I tried that adding @ prefix, still couldnt find

i have tried //*[text()[contains(.,'20150215')]] too , still not captured.

I am gonna read the post, thank you

Hi @Semih Öztürk​ ,

Have you tried with any of the latest dates?

//*[contains(text(),'20220101')]

Or

//a[Contains(@href,'20220101')] 

Its kind of hard to say since I don't have direct access to the instance, but I think you got the basic idea right?

The dates are what we will use to target the line items.

Hi @Ashwin A.K​ 

I tried this just to see if it shows me the output //*[contains(text(),'20141203')]

but it didnt capture any line.

Hello @Ashwin A.K​ 

I am expected to click on the last link everyday. The last link's domxpath for today is

/html/body/pre[1]/a[2624], this domxpath helped me to click correctly.

But this will be dynamic. So ill need to click on the link which 2625 tomorrow.

I hold this value in an excel file, and store this into a variable, changed to number from string, and i updated the domxpath as

/html/body/pre[1]/a[$recorderIndexValueNum$]

but it didnt accept this,

why would it be
