How To ? Only Click If Id Does Not Match Multiple Items (Element Offset)

[ibotubot 3]

Hi all,

 

Question , I am trying to click a button using offsets. So lets say there is a delete button and they are all 100% the same so I am using element offset.

 

- I have scraped how many buttons are on the page

- I have a list of ids that are not allowed to match the offset

 

-->Example

--> Let's say there are 20 buttons (this always varies)

--> My List with ID contains 0,5,8,12,18 (this also varies so a hardcoded else if will be getting quite long)

 

How do I click on all DELETE buttons except (0,5,8,12,18) ?

 

I know I could do as many else if as i have IDs in my list , but that list could literally be one item or all 20... SO as you see working with hard coded else if is not really that great of a solution here

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

Try something like this...

set(#offset index,0,"Global")
loop(20) {
    if($comparison(#offset index,"!= Does not equal",$find regular expression(#offset index,"0|5|8|12|18"))) {
        then {
            alert("{#offset index} I can click it!")
            comment("click here and put #var in offset")
        }
    }
    increment(#offset index)
}

count the elements to put in the loop cycles

 

Regards,

Nick

Thanks Nick, will give it a try later. Did not think of using regex properly, so thanks for the reminder here.

Ok just needed that input. Solved

 

Given the regex all I needed to do is loop through by list total (my ids), then just add each id to the variable with "|" and thats all :

 

Thanks !
