copied!<p>In a word, no, none of the <code>FindElement()</code> strategies support using regular expressions for finding elements. The simplest way to do this would be to use <code>FindElements()</code> to find all of the links on the page, and match their <code>.Text</code> property to your regular expression. </p> <p>Note though that if clicking on the link navigates to a new page in the same browser window (i.e., does not open a new browser window when clicking on the link), you'll need to capture the exact text of all of the links you'd like to click on for later use. I mention this because if you try to hold onto the references to the elements found during your initial <code>FindElements()</code> call, they will be stale after you click on the first one. If this is your scenario, the code might look something like this:</p> <pre><code>// WARNING: Untested code written from memory. // Not guaranteed to be exactly correct. List<string> matchingLinks = new List<string>(); // Assume "driver" is a valid IWebDriver. ReadOnlyCollection<IWebElement> links = driver.FindElements(By.TagName("a")); // You could probably use LINQ to simplify this, but here is // the foreach solution foreach(IWebElement link in links) { string text = link.Text; if (Regex.IsMatch("your Regex here", text)) { matchingLinks.Add(text); } } foreach(string linkText in matchingLinks) { IWebElement element = driver.FindElement(By.LinkText(linkText)); element.Click(); // do stuff on the page navigated to driver.Navigate().Back(); } </code></pre>
