Is there a way to implement Contains in a selector?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Steve48 431

I have this selector which works correctly.

 div[Text="10247 Some Street"]

 div[Text="10247 Some Street"]:eq(0)

 

However I want to select the 2nd occurrence of 10247. So I need a selector that implements "contains" and then change :eq(0) to :eq(1).

Is there a way to do this?

TIA

    You can use the below contains for check any text values else you can use your selector as variable.
