Hello-World picture Hello-World · Aug 29, 2012 · Viewed 52.4k times · Source

On my HTML page I have forty divs but I only want one div

Using agility pack to search and get all the divs with Ids I use this

"//div[@id]"

BUT how do I search for divs with Ids where the id contains the text "test"

<div id="outerdivtest1></div>"

Thanks

Use the contains function:

//div[contains(@id,'test')]
