Xpath issues - How to loop?

[bambinou]

Hi all,

I cannot remember how to loop through an xpath to get the data:
eg:
First XPath
//*[@id="main"]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/ul/li[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[7]/div [1]/div[1]/div[1]/span[1]/span[1]/a/span[1]/span[1]

Second Xpath
//*[@id="main"]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/ul/li[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[7]/div [1]/div[1]/div[1]/span[1]/span[1]/a/span[1]/span[1]

As you can see the /li[n] is different on each line.


I know for example that each page will have 10 of them, how can I go from:
//*[@id="main"]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/ul/ li[1 ]/div[1]/div[1]/div[7]/div [1]/div[1]/div[1]/span[1]/span[1]/a/span[1]/span[1]


to

//*[@id="main"]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/ul/ li[10] /div[1]/div[1]/div[7]/div [1]/div[1]/div[1]/span[1]/span[1]/a/span[1]/span[1]


With a block (And which block to use please.

I am using the latest version that has just been released. 7.0.2 I think.


Thanks!

Hi,
can you give me the links so i can tell you how to do it?

if you use the "to the action designer" and select with the XPath?

then you create a counter with an increment up to 10 and you paste your counter in your variable /li[{counter}]
but I'm not sure it works that way.

It seems to me that I had succeeded once with a window that appeared once I had created the data collection window, you could change the value in the next window. I'll take a screenshot for you later. I have a scrapping in progress
