Text processing can sometimes be a bit tricky, especially when dealing with elements like <br>
and partial text within them.
// start by extracting all text content from the div element
string allText = driver.findElement(By.id("login_credentials")).getText();
// extract the text of the H4 element for later removal
string textToRemove = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='login_credentials']/h4")).getText();
// remove the unnecessary "Accepted usernames are:" part from the text
string filteredText = allText.Replace(textToRemove, "");
// split the filtered text by newline characters to get individual items that include 'standard_user'
string[] textArray = filteredText.split("\\r?\\n");
// retrieve the text corresponding to 'standard_user' which is the first item in the array
string standardUserText = textArray[0];
Although the last 3 lines could be condensed, I opted for this detailed version to elucidate each step's function.
Post execution evaluation, the allText
variable should hold value:
Accepted usernames are: standard_user locked_out_user problem_user performance_glitch_user
.
With the removal of the Accepted usernames are:
from the h4
element, filteredText
contains:
standard_user locked_out_user problem_user performance_glitch_user
, separated by either
\r
or
\n
which necessitates regex handling.
Upon splitting filteredText
at \n
, we obtain an array:
[ "standard_user", "locked_out_user", "problem_user", "performance_glitch_user" ]
Subsequently, accessing textArray[0]
retrieves the initial item from the list - likely to be standard_user
.
