How to make ElementOptionSelect not case sensitive.

[Paulliev]

Hello, I use _WD_ElementOptionSelect to select an option in my dropdown, one problem. The input can be lower case or upper case, depends what the user fills in. Can I make this someway non case-sensitive? See my code below:

$Product = "adminview"

; Select option is AdminView and won't select it now.
_WD_ElementOptionSelect($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//select[@name='custom_field_49325']//option[contains(text(),'" & $Product & "')]")

 

I found the function StringCompare, but then I need to compare to the select options, is there a faster way to do it?

Something like this should work --

_WD_ElementOptionSelect($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//select[@name='custom_field_49325']//option[contains(translate(text(), 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), '" & $Product & "')]")

@Danp2 Thanks for your answer.

As I said: "The input can be lower case or upper case, depends what the user fills in" 

The translate you gave me purely sets everything to lowercase right? But my select options are not all lowercase. So it really needs to be non case sensitive just the text needs to be the same.

What I posted changes the text of the select element's options to lowercase. If $Product is the user input, just convert it to lowercase as well so that the comparison will work as intended.
