Count the number of times a date is displayed within a web page.

[cfereday]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to count the number of times a date is displayed within a web page.

- The dates are displayed in an IE Table.
- I have set the date I want to count as a variable ($Week_Commencing$)

Please can you tell me how I can count the number of times $Week Commencing$ is displayed in the IE Table?

Do I need to use the $counter$ system variable for this? If so, please can you provide me with an example of how this variable is used and how I can hold the result of the count as a variable?

Thanks

Hello,

What you can do is,

1) Capture the IE table using Extract table command.
2) Create user variable say $TotalCount$.
3) Loop for each row in IE table.
4) Inside loop block, use 'If Variable' command to check Table Column(Index) is equal to $Week_Commencing$.
5) Inside If block increment $TotalCount$.
$TotalCount$ - $TotalCount$ + 1

If you can provide URL of website we can create specific task for your convenience.

Hope this helps.
