Is there anyway I could do this thing i'm trying to do
So I want to run my java program on a website If I sees a certain text anywhere in the page It clicks on a link that is in the html code
Here is what I mean
Say the text i'm looking for is Banana and if it finds Banana on the page it goes to a link in the html code Is there anyway I can do that?
I would recommend using jsoup because of it's css selectors
the code could then look somewhat like this:
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://en.wikipedia.org/").get();
Elements elements = doc.select("a");
for(Element e : elements) {
if(e.text().contains("banana")) {
String linkURL = e.attr("abs:href");
}
}
This demo perhaps should help you.
String demo = "<select id='list'><option value='0'>First value</option><option value='1'>Second value</option><option value='2'>Third value</option></select>";
Document document = Jsoup.parse(demo);
Elements options = document.select("select > option");
for(Element element : options)
{
System.out.println(element.attr("value"));
}
You would need to use Jsoup to parse html for more on it visit this link.
Note : I have used a String to parse you can directly connect to a url and parse the response html.
