Is it possible to select an element (drop-down value) using which contains?

Question

Is it possible to select an element (drop-down value) using which contains?

My drop-down value is of 25 characters, as of now i'm using

myelement.SelectByText(mytext); // Here i'm passing full text of the drop-down value.

Wondering is it possible to select by passing partial value of the text?

Please let me know. ( Possible C# answers would be helpful )

Answer 1

Please try below code it should work

WebElement web = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select"));
List<WebElement> lst2 = web.findElements(By
        .xpath(".//option[contains(text(),'<yourText>')]"));
    for (WebElement option : lst2) {
    if (!option.isSelected()) {
        option.click();
    }
}
