I’m looking to capture a comment that falls above the <html> tag. The comment contains well formatted data that also appears in a table further down, but the table is more difficult to process.
XPath doesn’t work since it starts at the <html> tag and the regex I have also starts at the <html> tag. So the only comments I can capture are after the <html> tag. I have also tried extracting the entire source code but again, I can only extract what comes after the <html> tag.
Does anyone have a work around for this? I appreciate any help.
Extracting text from comments is easy with the sourceExtract command.
From the docs:
The sourceSearch and sourceExtract commands work with the page source, instead of looking at the web page object model (DOM) that all other “classic” Selenium IDE command use. Thus sourceSearch/Extract also “sees” e. g. comments in the page source code and can check/extract Javascript code parts (like the Google Analytics ID) that are invisible to a command like storeText.
