how to check if a string contains comma ?

[Majid Lotfi]

I want to check if a string contains comma , I did :

if driver.find_element(:xpath, '//*[@id="left"]/div/div[1]/div[3]/div[5]/div[2]').text()..include? ',')

    puts "Failed"

else

puts "Passed"

end

Thanks

selenium can get the text for you, but your language would be what checks if that string contains a comma. It looks like you are using ruby which I don't know, but try googling "ruby check if string contains string".

Also, you might want a better locator... something with an id or class or something.

Yeah ideally you find the thing that might have a comma, then get its text, then use your language to see if it has a comma:

sample_text = driver.find_element(id: 'maybe_comma').text

puts sample_text.include?(',') ? "Failed" : "Passed"

If you actually want to locate an element based on text, then I'm going to point you to Watir, which uses the Ruby Selenium library, but provides a number of extra locator strategies so you don't have to deal with XPath.

puts browser.divs(text: /,/).any? ? "Failed" : "Passed"
