Making template more universal

[krisztos]

I want to make my ont of my template more universal. I know I can use -1 for document and form#. What about attribute name, tag and match#? Can I use something like input:.* or -1 here? I just want to search for an element only by value.

try to make it in c# by xpath or by tag name

 

[krisztos]

I have to update the template frequently, so I try to avoid using C# (which I am not good by the way). I'd rather want to know in which fields I can use regex or -1 values. For the sake of a speed I just want to reduce amount of widgets. I guess the match nb is mandatory? What about the other?

you can use values of attributes as regular expressions.
not attributes themselves

 

[krisztos]

Ok, but as I want to select element only by regex no matter what match#, attribute and tag input:.* it has? Maybe you can give me some c# code for that?

You need to use match number for findbyattribute method
also you can use https://help.zennolab.com/en/v5/zennoposter/5.4/ZennoLab.CommandCenter~ZennoLab.CommandCenter.Document~FindElementById.html
if you know id of element

OK, but can I made it work for all attributes - it's a common situation that field name is sometimes in id, name or inner/outer html - it's waste of time to go through 4 elements instead of one.

Create a list of all attributes it might be found in. Take a line and loop trough them one at the time.
It's still "going trough all" but in more flexible way tho.

Yes, I also think about that - but as I will have 30 objects I have to make 30 loops in the project? And at least one "if" to go to next object when all vales are checked.

Have authors never considered letting us to use regex in match, attribute and tag fields? Would it be very hard to implement?

You create 1 loop in the project, which loops up to 30 times.
