yeah except apparently 'abc' here was apparently intended as a generic site
name not the actual literal American Broadcasting Corp site.. (so he told
me in mail)
The simple answer is that you can build a collection of links that match a
specific pattern (expressed as a regular expression), then use ruby methods
like .each to iterate over the list
browser.links(:href => /my-test-site.com\/view\?item/).each do |link|
browser.goto(link.href)
#what you need to do at that page
end
If we need to get into more detail, and HTML samples etc, it might be
better to take this to stack overflow where that stuff can be properly
formatted, and you can edit your original question to supply the
information folks need to help you
