How should I be attempting to click this link?

<span id="x2m8_R-s" class="s_22 s-text">Walk&nbsp;In</span>

If I double click the Walk$nbsp;In the text reads Walk In.

How can I search for this text? 

I have tried a several  different ways with no luck. Here are a few;

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, '//span[text()="Walk${nbsp}In"]')


$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//span[translate(text(), '\u00a0', ' ') = 'Walk In']")


$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//span[contains(text(),'Walk In')]")


$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//span[contains(text(),'Walk In')]")

Any help is appreciated as always.

Try this

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//span[contains(text(),'Walk" & Chr(160) & "In')]")

btw.
why you are not using ID ?

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//span[@id='x2m8_R-s']")

That's how I would do it in this scenario. 😉

@Danp2 @mLipok The ID is dynamic or I definitely would be. 

The only thing that stays the same is that R-s at the end. 

Thank you for the help!

@SkysLastChanceOIC. Might have been good to share that info in your OP. 😉

Did you try the first method shown by @mLipok?

[SkysLastChance]

This also works.

 

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//span[substring(@id, string-length(@id) - string-length('_R-s') + 1 ) = '_R-s']")

@Danp2 I agree. I get so hyper focused on one thing. Sorry. 

The first method did work.

Is it working ?

EDIT: 
I see now.
