Need Help - Count number of times the word “cheese” string appears and print number in java using selenium

Question

Hi i'm trying to figure out how to count how many times the word "cheese" string appears and print the number using selenium. Here's what I have:

    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.get("http://www.bing.com");
    WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q")); 
    element.sendKeys("cheese"); 
    element.submit(); 


    List <WebElement> links = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*")).findElements(By.tagName("a"));


    for(int i = 0; i < links.size(); i++)
    {
        System.out.println("Link: " + links.get(i).getAttribute("href"));
        System.out.println("Title" + links.get(i).getAttribute("title"));
        System.out.println("Description: " + links.get(i).getText()+ "\n");
        //Trying to calculate the total count the word "cheese" from .getText()     
    }

any help is appreciated. Thank you

Answer 1

It should be easy if you write your selector correctly. Follow this:

By byXpath = ".//a/strong[.='cheese' or .='Cheese']" //assuming you want all the cheese ignoring case

//and then find the list and count

IList<IWebElement> list = Driver.FindElements(byXpath);
Console.WriteLine(list.Count.ToString());

Using C#

Answer 2

StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

for(int i = 0; i < links.size(); i++) {
    stringBuilder.append(links.get(i).getText());
}

String totalResult = stringBuilder.toString();

System.out.println(totalResult.toLowerCase().split("cheese", -1).length-1);
