Dynamic row identification

jasonb

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out how to find the row number where a particular text value is (it's a dynamically created table, so if something is deleted/added the row num will change.) Then I'd like to get the text from a column in that row (which is always the same [5]), save it to a variable and then do an assert on the saved text. I've seen some code here which allows me to cycle through the rows of a table but I haven't yet seen something which cycles through table rows until it finds something specific, all the examples I've seen always just go to the end of the table in question.

Any pointers are appreciated.

Thanks,
| JB

Hi jason

then use the exaples you found here and add a break like

// pseudocode
lookUpText = "example"
for row in rows
  rowText = _getText(row)
  if rowText.match(lookUpText)
    _alert("Found lookUpText in row")
    break
