Wildcards in sendKeys

UI.Vision RPA General Discussion
1

Hi!

I’m trying to use UI Vision to automatically login to our Icinga2 Kiosk after startup of our raspberry pi.
This plugin would do great, but the website has one ‘flaw’: the ID of the username, password form and login button change every time the page reloads.
They look like this:
form_login_username-uhtczmxngvps and this last part changes everytime.
Is there a possibility to put a wildcard in place? If so, could I get an example too?

Thank you all in advance
Kind regards

Sendkeys is not a good command and in ui vision work few times, use xclick with xpath contains and you can use partial attribute

Example
xpath=//a[@class=‘topic-link’][contains(.,‘Wildcards in’)]

In addition to what @newuserkantu said: You find more details and examples here: clickAndWait, click - Selenium IDE Commands Tutorial

The above link goes to the CLICK command page, but it works the same with the locators for TYPE and SENDKEY.
