Extract the names which contain a UI selector

(0) Share

Posted on by FlashDota

I have the following UI element selector:
table > tbody > tr > td > div > div > div > button > span > span > i[Class="fas fa-spinner fa-xs"]
this is called 'Specific Icon' in the UI elements list

When this element is present on the webpage, I want to get the names of all the buttons that contain this UI selector (every new name should appear as a new row when written to Excel)

How can I do this, and which would be the easiest way to do it?

@FlashDota Could you please elaborate your use case? So that we can assist you on more appropriate way.

In the interim, you can consider the following suggestions if they resonate with you.

Begin by verifying whether the element is present on the webpage using the "If web page contains" action. If it exists, proceed to extract the entire webpage source using the "Get details of web page - with get web page source" action. Then, utilize parse/split actions to retrieve the necessary button details from the table.

Try using the following JavaScript script in a Run JavaScript function on web page action:

function ExecuteScript() { var names = []; var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("fas fa-spinner fa-xs"); for (i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) { names.push(elements[i].textContent); }; return names; }

And then use Split text on the output to get it into a list that you can write to Excel.

Please note you may need to use a different argument than .textContent, depending on the specific value you're trying to extract. Quite hard to be more specific on my part without seeing what the element looks like.
