Hello, I am trying to trim a text message so i can compare two strings together. I am able to get the text from the id but i'm not certain how selenium syntax needs to be in java to remove certain string values. What i am trying to do is find the "-" index and erase everything after it.
 to help here is the code
<tr>
 <td>storeText</td>
 <td>id=gwt-debug-ticket_list[1][ID]</td>
 <td>CsDate</td>
        <td>string d = ${CsDate}<td>
        <td> ${CsDate} = d.indexOf('-');</td>
       // <td>d.(2);</td>
       // <td> ${CsDate} = d </td>
        <td>CsDate</td>  
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>echo</td>


The string id 20120712-0032

I am trying to get everything before the"-" but not sure how to get rid of the numbers after. 
 <td>${CsDate}</td>
 <td></td>
[6/29/2012 2:29:27 PM] Cevon  Carver: what i am trying to do is to find the index of '-' from 20120628-00055. After finding the index, i want to keep everything before '-' and delete everything after
[6/29/2012 2:29:31 PM] Cevon  Carver: Thank You in advance

On possible java way would be:

 

String myString = "20120712-0032";

myString = myString.replaceFirst("-.*", "");

//myString now equals 20120712

I tried using the code, still didn't work. I know the syntax of your code is right but i'm still not familiar about selenium syntax. I tried two ways and still didn't work. The echo is still working properly though

<tr>
<td>storeText</td>
<td>id=gwt-debug-ticket_list[1][ID]</td>
<td>CsDate.replaceFirst(("-.*", ""));</td>
        <td>string d =${CsDate}; ${CsDate} = d.replaceFirst("-.*", "");</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>echo</td>
<td>${CsDate}</td>
<td></td>
</tr>

Hello,

I assume you are using Selenium IDE correct?

If yes then I believe it uses Javascript and not Java.
Try this:

storeText | xpath=//*[@id="gwt-debug-ticket_list[1][ID]"] | CsDate
storeEval | javascript{var x=storedVars['CsDate']; x=x.substring(0,7); x;} | CsDate
echo | CsDate

See what will you get with this.
Hope it helps!

It looks like you are trying to use Java code in Selenium IDE, this will not work.

 

Are you looking for a Selenium IDE solution rather than a Java solution?

Hello,

I'm just looking for a solution and thought a Java solution would be a easier way. Any input would be great.

Thank You

If your question is: Given String str = " 20120712-0032 ", how to make str = " 20120712".

You may want to try:

String s = "14.015_AUDI";
String[] parts = s.split("_"); //returns an array with the 2 parts
String firstPart = parts[0]; //14.015
