_IEFormElementOptionSelect to use wildcard

[_Ray]

Hello,

I don't know if there is already a similar question but I haven't found any. So maybe someone can help me.

I'm trying to find a value from IE dropdown but with the use of wildcard. 

For below example. I used * as wildcard just to show what I want to achieve. I am looking for the option on the red box from the screenshot using the value of 9811 only.

***Please don't mind the blue lines.

 

$oObj = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, 'j_id184:j_id193')
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($oObj, "*9811*", 1, "byText")

Hi @_Ray,

I am not sure that I understand you completely, but did you tried [...]

_IEFormElementOptionSelect($oObj, "137680", 1, "byValue")

[...] in case the value="137680" is static/constant?

What should be the next step after you "find" it?


This is an untested and experimental alternative which probably has to be adjusted:

Func _getElementByXpath($sXPath)
    Return $oObject.document.evaluate($sXPath, document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null)
EndFunc

_getElementByXpath("//select/option[@value='137680']")

; or

_getElementByXpath("//select/option[contains(text(), '9811')]")

Maybe it wouldn't work, but something like this could be an option (see reference) 😅 .

Best regards
Sven

I cannot use byValue since the 9811 is from a file and. I just simplified my question.

I will take a look at this

Here an example based on IE examples :

Local $bFound = False, $sSelect
  Local $oObj = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "selectExampleID")
  If Not IsObj($oObj) Then Return MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Not an object")
  Local $colOpt = _IETagNameGetCollection($oObj, "option")
  MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Number of", $colOpt.length)
  For $oOpt in $colOpt
    ConsoleWrite($oOpt.innerText & @CRLF)
    If StringInStr($oOpt.innerText, "Midi") Then
      $sSelect = StringStripWS($oOpt.innerText, $STR_STRIPTRAILING)
      _IEAction($oObj, "focus")
      _IEFormElementOptionSelect ($oObj, $sSelect, 1, "byText")
      $bFound = True
      ExitLoop
    EndIf
  Next
  If Not $bFound Then Exit MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Error", "No find")
