How to 'Select' from dropdown list having a dynamic id?(Finally resolved)

I want to select an option from dropdown list which is having a dynamic id,
I am stuck on this issue since many days. Please Help.


The recorded script is as below,
Command select
Target id=qb_final__93111____method__16 (This is the dynamic id)
Value label=Cash


N.B. I tried with several xpath methods such as,

Command select
Target //input[starts-with(@id,"qb")]
Value label Cash

but I get error as [error] Specified element is not a Select (has no options)

hi,

try to use regular experssion for id

like : qb_final__d{5}__method__d{2}

you can also use contains in xpath :
target: regexp://input[contains(@id,'qb_final__d{5}__method__d{2}
')]

It's not perfect, you need to do some some R&D and above solution will help you out. Best of luck.

Bye

Its not working yet

Yes, Finally I am able to solve this issue (the silly me )

Just replaced the keyword 'input' with 'select'...


i.e.
Command select
Target //select[starts-with(@id,"qb")]
Value label Cash


Thank all of you...

Hello Gabriela,

You can use following syntax

Command select
Target //select[starts-with(@id,"P4")]
value: label=wonderful
