Random Characters in String

[David]

Hello,

I used to check elements via Inspect block and see if a word was present with a random string of characters attached, like this :

TextView : '* word to inspect *'

While the "*" meant random any characters. (not in Xpath). In Xpath, it doesn't work anymore. What is the replacement ? I always have to write the exact inspected element and sometimes I need the "*" to describe a random character,

Thanks!

Use the XPath matches function e.g.:

//android.widget.TextView[fn:matches(@android:text, '.*word.*')]

or the custom glob function:

//android.widget.TextView[fn:glob(@android:text, '*word*')]
