Hey guys,
I have a quick question related to using XPATH with Imacros. I am trying to count how many <tr> tags are inside a <tbody>
I am currently using IMacros V11.1.495.5175, Firefox 47.0.1, Windows 7 German.
My current code looks like this:
var test_xpath = "//table[@class='tableProduct']/tbody/select=count(tr)";
var test_macro = "CODE: TAG XPATH=" + '"' + test_xpath + '"' + " EXTRACT=TXT" + "\n";
test_macro += "SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=*" + "\n";
iimPlay(test_macro);
alert(iimGetLastExtract());//this should give me the number of <tr> inside the <tbody>...but it's not giving me anything
This information is used in a for loop that will extract more information from each <tr>. I just want to know how many times I need to loop it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you !

Yep but no need to kind of spam the Forum by opening several Threads about the exact same Qt with different Accounts. If @COSMOS is some Colleague of yours asking their own Qt, you are kind of screwing it for them as Duplicate Threads is a Show-stopper for me for answering Threads...COSMOS wrote:Hey guys !
I have a brief question related more to XPATH.
I am using imacros with javascript to build a search script.
I am using CODE: TAG XPATH= .. in order to get to a certain <tbody> on a page.
What I want is to do a count of all the <tr> inside this tbody.
My current script looks like this:I am just learning xpath so I'll continue to look around but I wanted to ask you guys maybe someone can help.Code: Select all
var test_xpath = "//table[@class='tableProduct']/tbody/select=count(tr)"; var test_macro = "CODE: TAG XPATH=" + '"' + test_xpath + '"' + " EXTRACT=TXT" + "\n"; iimPlay(test_macro); alert(iimGetLastExtract()); //This should give me the number of <tr> inside the <tbody> //Using this information I can do a for loop in js which would extract further information inside each <tr>
To be in accordance with the forums posting policy I'm supplying my configuration: (even if it's not really related)
Thank you !Code: Select all

Re: IMacros + XPATH:Count children of tag
I doubt if you can do it with XPATH. Nevertheless if you use iMacros for Firefox and JavaScript Scripting Interface, try this code
Code: Select all
var numberOfRows = window.document.querySelectorAll("table.tableProduct tr").length;

I don't know anything about XPATH/REGEX and/as I don't use it but I use a as well a different Technique like I have demonstrated in this Thread to count the Nb of Options in a DDLB.
In a Nutshell, the "aim of the game" is to do an 'EXTRACT=HTM' on your 'TBODY' Element and using 'EVAL()' + 'split('<tr>')' which returns an Array, the 'length' Property of that Array (-1) gives you the Result you are after...
