[wtr-general] Re: Unable to find the value blah... within a listbox. Value is retrieved from excel cell
I've tried both copying it from and entering manually and I'm always getting 'à'
I've also tried this in the ruby code and it didn't work .gsub('à'.'...')
Thanks though.
I've asked the developers to remove the ... from the word.

Value is retrieved from excel cell
This is because in Excel you likely have the ellipsis character (...)
as a single character not three separate period chracters (.).
Ruby (and therefor Watir) doesn't support character sets / unicode as
one might expect. Therefore you receive the á character instead.
Try pasting the value into Excel from a plain text editor - notepad
for example.

Can you show us the HTML that defines the listbox and its items?

Is 'Blah the actual value defined in the HTML for that listbox
item, or is perhaps the browser UI visually truncating something
longer down to what will fit in available space for the way the
listbox is defined?

I've figured it out.
There is a setting within excel that converts ... to ellipses.
To remove this setting goto Tool- AutoCorrect Options... and removed the ...
to ... conversion.
