Dynamic selectors - website

[bhe98 (bryan)]

Hi,

I want to dynamically extract the table from this website: “Economic Calendar”

I’ve noticed a change in pattern in the selector everyday:
Monday: < webctrl id=‘daily-cal1’ tag=‘TABLE’ />
Tuesday: < webctrl id=‘daily-cal2’ tag=‘TABLE’ />
and so on…

Is there a way I can dynamically extract the data?

@bhe98, identify attributes which are getting changed and use wild cards for them.

Hi
Kindly replace that part of dynamic value of attribute with wildcards like *
Cheers @bhe98

I tried but it doesn’t extract the table anymore after I changed

Can I have a view on full selector if possible

Actually, this works too:
< webctrl tag=‘TABLE’ class=‘table dfx-calendar-table tab-pane fade active in’ />

However, it changes to “in active” sometimes

@bhe98

< webctrl tag=‘TABLE’ class=‘table dfx-calendar-table tab-pane fade active in’ />

then use < webctrl tag=‘TABLE’ class=‘table dfx-calendar-table tab-pane fade*’ /> @bhe98

This will help you to make your selector dynamic.

it extracted the wrong table as there are 6 tables and the one I want is the one that is active
