How to count no. of elements?

[bytzu]

Hello,


I scrape different pages each with different no of elements (div's with class='test' ) with the help of action designer. How can i know how many elements we have on each page?

Then i want to set a index and add each element to a list, but how can i know how many elements i have on each page ?

I give you an ex. in PHP maybe is more clear:

$index = 0;

//step 1

if($index < count($nr_of_elelments)){
//do something
$index++;
//go back to step 1
}else{
//do something else
}

I am interested on getting count($nr_of_elelments)

Anyone knows how to do this?

use C#:

var col = instance.ActiveTab.FindElementsByAttribute("div", "class", "test", "text");
return col.Count;

Thanks shade for your solution. It works fine. Looks like i will need to take a C# crash course

Out of curiosity does anybody knows another solution around it? There is another way getting the DOM and with regular expression putting the values into a list and then count list elements, but Shade's solution is the best until now.
