How to print each element Class in a different cell in a sheet

[Js Smith]

Hi all!

I'm writing vba using selenium and uses the chromedriver.

I know this will print each dropdown's label value from a webpage in a different cell in Sheet1 and it works:

Dim i As Long
i = 1
Set rvar2s = bot.FindElementsByXPath("//*[starts-with(@id,'pneumo')]")
For Each rvar2 In rvar2s
i = i + 1
Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 2).Value = rvar2.Text
Next rvar2

How do I print each dropdown's element Class from a webpage in a different cell in a sheet?

Sometimes the beginning of an element is the same and the end is different. I can't figure out how to set values to a series of dropdowns where part of the element class changes. Right now I can only manipulate the first dropdown by using an xpath starts-with

So attempting to pivot, if I could know the exact class for each dropdown then I could target each dropdown and set their value. I don't want to manually inspect each dropdown on the page to get the class. If I have to do it manually, it defeats the purpose of automating.

If you have anyone has better ideas, I'm all ears. Thanks!!

Hi Js, can you maybe share a bit more code/which site you're trying to automate? I'll gladly have a go at it (did quite some VBA-based scraping myself), but this example is rather minimalistic. If you're not okay sharing it here, do send me a DM.

Hi Rijinsent!

The variable 10-digit codes are the problem and judging from what I've seen on this site this sort of thing will occur again as I progress in script writing.
I can't give you access to the site but here's a few takes on the code:

Using Chrome to inspect:

<select id="page_06_relation_1000174402_to_1000174429" name="relation_1000174402_to_1000174429" aria-required="true" class="tablet:grid-col-6 gi-dropdown__select undefined"><option value="default">Relation</option><option value="19">Child (son or daughter)</option><option value="31">Court-Appointed Guardian</option><option value="53">Domestic partner</option><option value="05">Grandchild (grandson or granddaughter)</option><option value="04">Grandparent (grandfather or grandmother)</option><option value="13">Mother-in-law or Father-in-law</option><option value="03">Parent (father or mother)</option><option value="14">Sibling (brother or sister)</option><option value="11">Son-in-law or Daughter-in-law</option><option value="01">Spouse</option><option value="17">Stepchild (stepson or stepdaughter)</option><option value="16">Stepparent (stepfather or stepmother)</option><option value="15">Ward</option><option value="G9">Other</option></select>

The Xpath of the same:

//*[@id="page_06_relation_1000174402_to_1000174429"]

This is how the Selenium Chrome addon sees it on a recording, selecting "Spouse" from the list ::

    "id": "82d2b6c3-c22d-4107-a8c2-ca1674ae7f00",

I'm working around the current problem by iterating the dropdown's list of values, using the Xpath test and setting the values via a spreadsheet.

Hi Js,

mmm, that doesn't make my answering of your question much easier, a good practice would be to provide a "minimum reproducable example", but hey, I'll try without . So I'm coming at this question from a slightly different angle, as I'm not using Selenium, but some default components.
In your situation I would try to see if the site itself makes some API call, so you don't have to go through the forms & pages, but can basically call the backend directly. You can try to see if there are any API calls (normally replying JSON) with the "inspect"->"network" screen. That generally speeds up the scraping process considerably.
Anyhow, what I did below is to pull in a website where I found some dropdowns, listing them, their ID, their CLASS and the options. The pulling in of the website is a bit elaborate, as I'm using the same code to pull in JSON and to create e.g. POST messages.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Rijnsent!

Sorry to not be able to provide more but have been put on a very short leash. Boss actually wants me to develop a whole regression testing suite using just the Chrome Selenium plug in. I tried to explain that isn't the proper tool, but have been unable to make them see reason. Python and all other tools are forbidden. I know a little VBA so have taken some artistic license to get this Excel up and running. Pretty sure this was forbidden too but forgot to ask.

Thanks again for your thoughts on this. I will definitely try this once I'm back at my desk!

Looks like the select id and name both have the same value. What I am trying to do is get something like this in a worksheet:

page_06_relation_1000174402_to_1000174429

page_06_relation_1000174402_to_1000174430

page_06_relation_1000174402_to_1000174433

page_06_relation_1000174429_to_1000174430

page_06_relation_1000174429_to_1000174431

page_06_relation_1000174429_to_1000174432

page_06_relation_1000174429_to_1000174433

page_06_relation_1000174430_to_1000174431

page_06_relation_1000174430_to_1000174433

page_06_relation_1000174431_to_1000174432

page_06_relation_1000174431_to_1000174433

page_06_relation_1000174432_to_1000174433

I've got a workaround for the most immediate need but feel this skill will come in handy the farther down this rabbit hole this project goes. Thanks for the help and furthering my education!

 

[Rijnsent]

This code does exactly that, it's a slight modification of my code:

Sub ProcessHTML()

    filenm = "C:\Users\rijns\Documents\development\form_file.html"
    
    Dim oFSO As Object
    Dim oFS As Object, sText As String
    
    Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set oFS = oFSO.OpenTextFile(filenm)
    Do Until oFS.AtEndOfStream
        sText = oFS.ReadAll()
        'Debug.Print sText
    Loop

    Set doc = New HTMLDocument
    doc.body.innerHTML = sText
    
    Set TdSel = doc.getElementsByTagName("select")
    Rw = 1
    For Each s In TdSel
        For Each a In s.Attributes
            If a.Name = "id" Then
                'Debug.Print "ID: " & a.Value
                Worksheets("TWO").Cells(Rw, 1).Value = a.Value
            End If
        Next a
        Rw = Rw + 1
    Next s

    'Or alternatively
    Rw = Rw + 1
    Worksheets("TWO").Cells(Rw, 1).Value = "ALTERNATIVE"
    Rw = Rw + 1
    Set TdSel = doc.getElementsByTagName("select")
    For Each s In TdSel
        Worksheets("TWO").Cells(Rw, 1).Value = s.ID
        Rw = Rw + 1
    Next s

End Sub

Excel VBA debug 101:
I assume you're working in the VBE (Visual Basic Editor) and have the "Immediate" and "Local Variables" windows switched on, like so (dutch version, but it should look about the same).

Next, when you run code, use break points: either by clicking in front of the line or using F9:

After setting your break points, run your code by either pressing the start button or F5. Note: sometimes it is much smarter to run your code step by step, using F8. Your code will stop when it hits a break point, like so. Here I ran the code to the break point and after that pressed F8 two times to run those lines of code one by one.
What you see:

• in the Direct window, the results of Debug.Print show up, this can be helpfull to see where in your code you are and/or to check results. E.g. in this example, the Rw variable has the value 18
• That same value for Rw can also be found in the "Local variables" window (just outside view in this screenshot).
• That same Local Variables window can be used to inspect the various variables in your code to e.g. see what properties they have and what values they hold. Sometimes it's worth debug.printing a property of an object/variable to see the value.

Good luck VBA-ing

This code does exactly that, it's a slight modification of my code:

Sub ProcessHTML()

    filenm = "C:\Users\rijns\Documents\development\form_file.html"
   
    Dim oFSO As Object
    Dim oFS As Object, sText As String
   
    Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set oFS = oFSO.OpenTextFile(filenm)
    Do Until oFS.AtEndOfStream
        sText = oFS.ReadAll()
        'Debug.Print sText
    Loop

    Set doc = New HTMLDocument
    doc.body.innerHTML = sText
   
    Set TdSel = doc.getElementsByTagName("select")
    Rw = 1
    For Each s In TdSel
        For Each a In s.Attributes
            If a.Name = "id" Then
                'Debug.Print "ID: " & a.Value
                Worksheets("TWO").Cells(Rw, 1).Value = a.Value
            End If
        Next a
        Rw = Rw + 1
    Next s

    'Or alternatively
    Rw = Rw + 1
    Worksheets("TWO").Cells(Rw, 1).Value = "ALTERNATIVE"
    Rw = Rw + 1
    Set TdSel = doc.getElementsByTagName("select")
    For Each s In TdSel
        Worksheets("TWO").Cells(Rw, 1).Value = s.ID
        Rw = Rw + 1
    Next s

End Sub

Excel VBA debug 101:
I assume you're working in the VBE (Visual Basic Editor) and have the "Immediate" and "Local Variables" windows switched on, like so (dutch version, but it should look about the same).

Next, when you run code, use break points: either by clicking in front of the line or using F9:

After setting your break points, run your code by either pressing the start button or F5. Note: sometimes it is much smarter to run your code step by step, using F8. Your code will stop when it hits a break point, like so. Here I ran the code to the break point and after that pressed F8 two times to run those lines of code one by one.
What you see:

• in the Direct window, the results of Debug.Print show up, this can be helpfull to see where in your code you are and/or to check results. E.g. in this example, the Rw variable has the value 18
• That same value for Rw can also be found in the "Local variables" window (just outside view in this screenshot).
• That same Local Variables window can be used to inspect the various variables in your code to e.g. see what properties they have and what values they hold. Sometimes it's worth debug.printing a property of an object/variable to see the value.

Thanks Rijnsent!

I appreciate the help and suggestions.

Still struggling with writing loops but this definitely helps. Hope you have a great rest of the week!
