Thank you so much Ethan..

We would surely try and implement this snippet and get back in case we
face any issues.

Thanks again,

 you could generalize this into a method like

 class Watir::Element

     tokens=string_to_match.split(/\s+/)
     regexp_to_match=Regexp.new(tokens.map{|token| 
 Regexp.escape(token)}.join([\\s\302\240]+), nil, 'U')

     return !!(self.text =~ regexp_to_match)
   end
 end

 then element.text_include_ignore_whitespace?(New Delhi to Mumbai)
 should return true.

  migrated to using .text method instead. Now that even this is giving us

  something deeper?
  This information will help us to decide if and how we could build the

  Have a nice day !!

  Due to this difference in the behaviour of .text, my validation fails

  There is a Jira ticket already open with regard to the .text method

Hi Ethan,

Tried to use element.text.match(/^New\s+Delhi\s+to\s+Mumbai$/) but it
returned nil and so failed.

Where do I look for the reason for the same?

Thanks,
Betsy Joy.

The difference between firefox and IE generally being on whitespace,
you can match text by matching a regexp which splits on whitespace.
Instead of element.text.include?(New Delhi to Mumbai) try
element.text.match(/^New\s+Delhi\s+to\s+Mumbai$/)
you could generalize this into a method like

class Watir::Element
  def text_include_ignore_whitespace?(string_to_match)
tokens=string_to_match.split(/\s+/)
regexp_to_match=Regexp.new(tokens.map{|token| Regexp.escape(token)
}.join([\\s\302\240]+), nil, 'U')
return !!(self.text =~ regexp_to_match)
  end
end

then element.text_include_ignore_whitespace?(New Delhi to Mumbai)
should return true.
