Thank you everyone, i figured out the answer for that issue. I used regular
expressions with iteration and it did work perfectly.
*Browser=$b.table(:id, /Grid/)
$Browser.rows.each do |row|
if (row[4].text =~ /Acct(.*) /)
puts "Dropdown selected"
row[5].select_list(:id, /dispositionList/).select "Value from
dropdown"
end
end
