Finding element using text and getting xpath - RSelenium
0
Is it possible to find an element using for example
remDr$navigate('http://toscrape.com/')
elems <- remDr$findElements('partial link text', 'JavaScript')
and then getting the xpath or css for that element?
# xpath = /html/body/div/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[4]/td[1]/a

XPath has acontent()function which can be used insideexpressions. That's about as much as I can provide unless you're willing to provide the URLs you're scraping.

Cool. Hopefully someone else will provide assistance (aiding content theft via a misdirect using "example" SO URL is not something I'm willing to ethically risk).
