xpath search for divs where the id contains specific text

Question

On my HTML page I have forty divs but I only want one div

Using agility pack to search and get all the divs with Ids I use this

\"//div[@id]\"


        

Answer 1

I've used this with for the CSS class:

//div[@class = 'atom']

I assume it's similar with id's.

Answer 2

You can use the xpath

//div[@contains(@id,'test')]

If you want to use the first occurrence, it works fine but if it's not the first occurrence you have to go with different xpath specific to the particular element.

Answer 3

Use the contains function:

//div[contains(@id,'test')]
