python正则判断列表是否有元素_我可以在Python和Selenium中使用正则表达式找到一个元素吗？...

I need to click a dropdown list and click a hidden element with in it. the html will be generated by javascript and I won't know the id or class name but I will know it will have a phrase in it. Can I find and element by regex and then click it with selenium?

You cannot simply do regex-based search with built-in selenium webdriver locators, but you have multiple things that might help you:

//div[contains(., "Desired text")]

//div[starts-with(., "Desired text")]

preceding, preceding-sibling, following and following-sibling axis that might help you if you know the relative position of an newly generated block of elements you need to locate

There are also CSS selectors for partial match on element attributes:

a[href*=desiredSubstring] # contains

a[href^=desiredSubstring] # starts-with

a[href$=desiredSubstring] # ends-with

And you can always find more elements than needed and filter them out later in Python, example:

import re

pattern = re.compile(r"^Some \w+ text.$")

elements = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("div.some_class")

for element in elements:

match = pattern.match(element.text)

if match:

print(element.text)
