rated 0 times [ 22] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 9274 / 5 Years ago, mon, may 20, 2019, 12:00:00

I'm new to and Cypress and I need to extract a dynamical part of a text from my application.

<body>

<div>Hello World greeting number 9123</div>

</body>

In this example I need to extract 9123 from the div, to use later in my tests. Any idea how I should do that?

First you could try to get the full text from the div using 'invoke method and the use RegExp and match in javascript to get the number from the text:

cy.get('div').invoke('text')

.then((text)=>{ 

    var fullText = text;

    var pattern = /[0-9]+/g;

    var number = fullText.match(pattern);

    console.log(number);

   })
