Reading text from Xpath location and store as a string

[keshav]

Hi All,

I want to read the text from the location using Xpath and store the
string in a variable and print it.

Can anyone help me????

i used gettext() method but it throws the error

String a1 = ("//h3/a");
String b= gettext("//h3/a");
System.out.println(b);

Thanks,
Keshav

Is this java? If so, you have to create a selenium client and use it,
e.g.

selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox",
"http"//somewhere.com");
selenium.start();
selenium.open("/");
String p = selenium.getText("//div[@id='data_provider_area']/h3["+i
+"]/a");

Hey i got the solution by making use of gettext.

String b= selenium.getText("//h3/a"); and its working fine.

If there is anyother method plz reply

Thanks,
Keshav

If the text ur getting is displayed to the user , you can use assertEquals() to make sure getting the correct one.

I didnt get u sriharsha ..

See v have some values in  excel entered manually ..  can we compare the values from the excel with the values on the webpage .. ??

is this possible ??

or write the values n compare values within the excel ..

[sriharsha a]

This is how you should be doing assertions ....
you are using getText() to get the text of an element which has text, and storing it in string variable.
Are the values read from excel sheet and values in stored in string variable from getText() same , if yes
use assertEquals() for assertion.

hope this helps .. if not please let me know

I got what ur trying to point sriharsha ...

But what im thinking is ..... if v give asserequals with the xpath ..
then i dnt have the necessity to write to excel .. i can directly....
verify in the site..

Lets see this in this way .. say like ..

lets not consider xpath .. lets take compare only the text presents..

for ex: i have abc in the excel .. n i need to check if the same abc
is present in the webpage ..

OK !

1) If you want to check what ever value is there in excel , the same is present in the webpage
           selenium.isTextPresent(readDatafromExcel);
readDataFromExcel will return String value which is what is required in isTextPresent()
isTextPresent() returns boolean value .

if (booleanValue){
System.out.println("Strings are equal ")
} else {
   System.out.println("Strings are not equal ")
}

Hi Keshav
Cross check your Xpath. There is some error related to Xpath. Else
this function was working ok for my case. Or use this function in
SeleneseTestCase class,

[BillR]

To read data from Excel, you must use a package for this purpose. E.g.
see code and Excel attached to this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/selenium-users/browse_thread/thread/deadfffe9ec821e8

[lakhwinder sharma]

Hi Keshav,

First u have to give the excel file path. and create a object like
below example

FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream("D:\\Jobsite\\Country.xls");
Workbook w = Workbook.getWorkbook(fi);
Sheet s = w.getSheet(0);

To find text is present or not.
getcell(0,1)is ur cell location.

selenium.isTextPresent(s.getCell(0, 1).getContents());

Thanks

[santhosh soma]

Can  you try the following logic code

String str=str+","+selenium.getText("xpath=(//

label[@class='x-form-cb-
label'])[position()="+ i + "]");

At the end you will get all the values separated by the cama.

String a[]=str.split(,);

now u will get all the values in array a[]a.

Thanks

Hi santhosh ..

THe isssue is that .. i have N number of checkbox for a particular
select option from a drop down ..

Im able to click check the box ..

String str= selenium.getText("xpath=(//label[@class='x-form-cb-
label'])[position()="+ i + "]");

Here "i" value is the no of checkbox...
it keep's incrementing the value according to the checkbox's

so my issue is how do i write all the values of the checkbox into the
same excel ...

right now .. First value is written in a excel and for the value value
of "i" new excel is created and the second value is written .
