如何使用Java和Selenium WebDriver识别元素中的方括号是否存在

Question

I need to write a code to identify if brackets are present or not in a given element in Selenium-Webdriver .

For example : the web element contain a number like (235) within the brackets. Then I need to check the brackets are present in that particular web element or not.

Answer 1

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.Id("your_id_here)")); //or any other locating method
if(element.getText().contains("[") || element.getText().contains("]")) {
    //do your stuff
}

Note: use || if only one of the opening or closing bracket should be present. If both of them are expected, use && .

Answer 2

Better way to use Regex to determine element text present with round brackets () as below :-

String regex = "\\(\\w+\\)"; //it will match any word present inside round brackets 

or

String regex = "\\(\\d+\\)"; //it will match only digits present inside round brackets 

Use anyone of the regex expression to determine element text present inside round brackets () as:-

WebElement el = driver.findElement(..);
String text = el.getText();

if(text.matches(regex)) {
    //do your further stuff
}
