Can We Use A Wildcard In A Conditional Statement ?

[webpro 31]

Can we use a Wildcard in a conditional statement ?

It was working before but i think it doesn't anymore. 

I'm trying to understand why lots of my bots aren't working anymore (scraping pages)

 

ex:

http://screencast.com/t/RvSsbTWZ

 

 

Exemple:

I want to click on the next page (link/button) if any.

So it could look like this(you see this usually at the bottom of the pages)

>>Next page

 

Thanks

Wildcards are working fine with 5.5.13

 

navigate("http://www.ubotstudio.com/playground/difficult-form","Wait")

wait for element(<last name field>,"","Appear")

change attribute(<id=w"lastna*">,"value","xxx")

 

But in your screenshot, it looks like the text in "Element to find" is URL encoded. Did you generate that with the element slection wizard?

It works but you need to use the "w" so you need to edit the selector by clicking on the gear icon then change exact match to wildcard in the dropdown.

 

Otherwise it won't work, for example:

navigate("http://ubotsandbox.com/textboxes.php", "Wait")
wait(2)
if($exists(<id="fnam*">)) {
    then {
        alert("Wildcard no W working")
    }
    else {
        alert("Wildcard no W is not working")
    }
}
if($exists(<id=w"fnam*">)) {
    then {
        alert("Wildcard with W working")
    }
    else {
        alert("Wildcard with W is not working")
    }
}
