Thank you Jesus, i figured out the answer for that issue. I used regular expressions and it worked perfectly. The code is shown below. Browser=$b.table(:id, /Grid/) $Browser.rows.each do |row| if (row[4].text =~ /Acct(.*) /) puts "Dropdown selected" row[5].select_list(:id, /dispositionList/).select "Value from dropdown" end end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
