Subject: Re: Looping n rows in table

Thank you Jesus for your gracious reply.

I tried to execute using help from your ruby code. However since the
text keeps on changing, i cannot put the exact text. So i came up with
two options on the code which didn't work either.

To answer your questions, i am using watir to automate my web app. So i
declared $b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome

I am trying to iterate the table so it is taking $b

Table= $b.table(:id, /grid/)

1 2 3 4 5

2 100 2000

3 150 3000 text dropdown

4 200 4000

5 250 5000 text dropdown

n 300 6000

However, i got the following error message when i used the following
code

Table.rows.each do |row|

row[5].select("Value from the dropdown") if row[4].text.exists?

end

Error

C:/Watir Scripts/Project/Debit.rb:58:in block in report': undefined
methodexists?' for "Account Number":String (NoMethodError) from
C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-webdriver-0.2.3/lib/watir-webdriver/element_collection.rb:21:in
each' from
C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-webdriver-0.2.3/lib/watir-webdriver/element_collection.rb:21:ineach'
from C:/Watir Scripts/Project/Debit.rb:57:in report' from
driver.rb:36:inrun' from driver.rb:42:in `'

So i tried to tweak the script and wrote as below.

Table.rows.each do |row|

if row[4].text!= ""

row[5].select("Value from the dropdown")

end

Then i got the following error message.
C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-webdriver-0.2.3/lib/watir-webdriver/container.rb:36:in
extract_selector': expected Hash or (:how, 'what'), got ["Exclude:

C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-webdriver-0.2.3/lib/watir-webdriver/element_collection.rb:21:in
each' from C:/Watir Scripts/Project/Debit.rb:51:inreport' from
driver.rb:36:in run' from driver.rb:42:in'

So i think we need to use (how, what) expressions, can you help me how
to use those expressions in 'each' command?
