How do regular expressions work in selenium?
The solution is to use the JavaScript replace() function with storeEval:
| storeAttribute | //pathToMyElement@id | elementID || storeEval | '${elementID}'.replace("element-", "") | myID |Now if I echo myID I get just the ID:
| echo | ${myID} | 12345 |
/element-(\d+)/i
That's a regular expression that would capture the numbers after the dash.
Something like this might work:
| storeAttribute | fn:replace(//pathToMyElement@id,"^element-","") | myId |To do regex requires XPath 2.0 - not sure which version Selenium implements.
