XPATH Syntax and Wildcard type stuff...

[mawa316]

Hi all,

I have an xpath that looks like this...

//*[@id="1471985985610-5-uiGrid-000U-cell"]/button[3]/span

What I want to do, since the ids are dynamic but they contain -<staticIndexNumber>- is find by xpath where id contains "-5-" and then the rest of the xpath

or

//*[@id contains "-5-"]/button[3]/span...

but I can't get the syntax for C# WebDriver quite right -- if its even possible to find an element in this way.

Any help appreciated!!

Mawa,
Try with this syntax:
//*[contains(@id,'-5-')]/button[3]/span...

Thanks,
Aniket
