[wtr-general] Displaying text from RegEx
Odd situation. The developers at my site are using legacy code that is screwed up HTML. Basically for my WATIR script I need to echo out the next 6 characters after the string I am searching for. Usually I would just dig deep into the TD cells, but they are all jumbled. Does anyone have any idea how I can do this? Normally I would just RegEx the IE Contains, but I need to make sure that it displays after the wording. In my real world example, I need to look for the company's name (XYZ) and grab the generated digits after it: After creating a policy for XYZ Corporation, the generated number on the page is: XYZ123456987 I need to grab the number after XYZ No hidden inputs, and the priority on fixing this is low for this customer. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Can you give a snippet of the mangled html? I'm sure there's a way to find it. Cheers, Charley On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 12:13 PM, watirboy enrique.j.ma...@gmail.com wrote: Odd situation.
