How to capture search results count in selenium java

How to capture search result count.It varies each time I had tried with
int result = driver.findelements(by.xpath("")).size(); but always I'm getting 0. XPath is correct.
Code in website:
<div class="search-msg-count ng-binding">Search result count: 100 entries</div>

Capture the text from the Element with the xpath -
WebElement e = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='search-msg-count ng-binding']"));
String elementText = e.getText().trim();
Then split the string with ":" -
String split[] = elementText.split(":");
Your required text will be in second array element. Get it & replace entries word from it.
String finalValue = split[1].replace("entries","").trim();
System.out.println(finalValue);

Looping a list through a column in webdriver

If I'm expecting a page to display 5 offers, how would I tell webdriver to list all those 5 offers in a ul?
The Ul html code is
<ul id="more-load" class="product_list_widget pagination-centered" style="padding-top:15px;">
I think you would use
List<WebElement> allElements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[#id='more-load']/ul/li"));
for (WebElement element: allElements) {
System.out.println(element.getText());
}
but I'm not sure how to print each individual offer in the Ul and match the 5 offers expected to be displayed
EDITED CODE
never mind used this and worked
WebElement allElements = driver.findElement(By.id("more-load"));
List<WebElement> liElements = allElements.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
for (int i = 0; i < liElements.size(); i++)
{
System.out.println("-------------------------------------------------------");
System.out.println(liElements.get(i).getText());
}
however if I have a column on the left side, with ul = product categories, how would I loop it to go through each individual link text and preform the same function

Let's say your 5 offers are as below:
Offer1
Offer2
Offer3
Offer4
Offer5
now your approach is correct till for loop:
then you can do something like :
String offerString = Offer1 + " " + Offer2 + " " + Offer3 + " " + Offer4 + " " + Offer5;
for (WebElement element: allElements) {
if(offerString.contains(element.getText()){
System.out.println("Offer item is: " + element.getText());
}
}

Stick with your original attempt, except change the line:
List<WebElement> allElements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[#id='more-load']/ul/li"));
to
List<WebElement> allElements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[#id='more-load']/li"));

using java8:
List<String> offers = driver
.findElements(By.cssSelector("#more-load li"))
.stream()
.map(WebElement::getText)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
and you can assert offers.size() to have some expected value by any assert library
To get linked text elements in UL you can use next selector:
driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("ul a"))

xPath not finding selector when using for-each loop variable, but works otherwise

I'm using Selenium to loop through an ArrayList of Strings in order to use each string in an xPath expression in order to select its appropriate checkbox on a website.
The problem is, when I use the for loop, the variable containing the string doesn't seem to create a valid xPath, yet when I simply substitute the string in myself it works fine.
For example, here is my ArrayList declaration with some values added.
ArrayList<String> fieldList = new ArrayList<String>();
fieldList.add("Street");
fieldList.add("City");
fieldList.add("Country");
If I then use the following code, it goes into the catch block
WebDriverWait waitForElement = new WebDriverWait(driver, 1);
for (String cField: fieldList) {
try {
waitForElement.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//td[following-sibling::td[2] = " + cField + "]/input")));
WebElement checkBox = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[following-sibling::td[2] = " + cField + "]/input"));
checkBox.click();
} catch (Exception error) {
System.out.println("Couldn't find " + cField);
}
}
Telling me it couldn't find "Street" for example.
Yet when my try block contains the following, with the value explicitly stated, it works:
waitForElement.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//td[following-sibling::td[2] = 'Street']/input")));
WebElement checkBox = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[following-sibling::td[2] = 'Street']/input"));
What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot.

You are forgetting to quote your strings in the XPath expression. Add single quotes around cField:
waitForElement.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(
By.xpath("//td[following-sibling::td[2] = '" + cField + "']/input")));
// quotes added here ---^ and here ---^
WebElement checkBox =
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[following-sibling::td[2] = '" + cField + "']/input"));
// quotes added here ---^ and here ---^

Using Selenium webdriver when tried to get the CSS property of background-color, it returned ‘transparent’

Using Selenium Webdriver in Java, when I try to get the background color I get the result as Transparent instead of the hex value.
if(elementName.contains("Background"))
getColor = driver.findElement(By.xpath(eleXPath)).getCssValue("background-color");
String[] numbers = getColor.replace("rgba(", "").replace(")", "").split(",");
int r = Integer.parseInt(numbers[0].trim());
int g = Integer.parseInt(numbers[1].trim());
int b = Integer.parseInt(numbers[2].trim());
hex = "#" + Integer.toHexString(r) + Integer.toHexString(g) + Integer.toHexString(b);
String[] numbers = getColor.replace("rgba(", "").replace(")", "").split(",");
The above code returns as "transparent"

try the following code :
((JavascriptExecuter)driver).executeScript("return arguments[0].style.background-color", element);

Replace every word with tag

JAVASCRIPT or JAVA solution needed
The solution I am looking for could use java or javascript. I have the html code in a string so I could manipulate it before using it with java or afterwards with javascript.
problem
Anyway, I have to wrap each word with a tag. For example:
<html> ... >
Hello every one, cheers
< ... </html>
should be changed to
<html> ... >
<word>Hello</word> <word>every</word> <word>one</word>, <word>cheers</word>
< ... </html>
Why?
This will help me use javascript to select/highlight a word. It seems the only way to do it is to use the function highlightElementAtPoint which I added in the JAVASCRIPT hint: It simply finds the element of a certain x,y coordinate and highlights it. I figured that if every word is an element, it will be doable.
The idea is to use this approach to allow us to detect highlighted text in an android WebView even if that would mean to use a twisted highlighting method. Think a bit more and you will find many other applications for this.
JAVASCRIPT hint
I am using the following code to highlight a word; however, this will highlight the whole text belonging to a certain tag. When each word is a tag, this will work to some extent. If there is a substitute that will allow me to highlight a word at a certain position, it would also be a solution.
function highlightElementAtPoint(xOrdinate, yOrdinate) {
var theElement = document.elementFromPoint(xOrdinate, yOrdinate);
selectedElement = theElement;
theElement.style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
var theName = theElement.nodeName;
var theArray = document.getElementsByTagName(theName);
var theIndex = -1;
for (i = 0; i < theArray.length; i++) {
if (theArray[i] == theElement) {
theIndex = i;
}
}
window.androidselection.selected(theElement.innerHTML);
return theName + " " + theIndex;
}

Try to use something like
String yourStringHere = yourStringHere.replace(" ", "</word> <word>" )
yourStringHere.replace("<html></word>", "<html>" );//remove first closing word-tag
Should work, maybe u have to change sth...

var tags = document.body.innerText.match(/\w+/g);
for(var i=0;i<tags.length;i++){
tags[i] = '<word>' + tags[i] + '</word>';
}
Or as #ThomasK said:
var tags = document.body.innerText;
tags = '<word>' + tags + '</word>';
tags = tags.replace(/\s/g,'</word><word>');
But you have to keep in mind: .replace(" ",foo) only replaces the space once. For multiple replaces you have to use .replace(/\s+/g,foo)
And as #ajax333221 said, the second way will include commas, dots and other symbols, so the better solution is the first
JSFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/c6ftq/4/

inputStr = inputStr.replaceAll("(?<!</?)\\w++(?!\\s*>)","<word>$0</word>");

You can try following code,
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class myTag
{
static String startWordTag = "<Word>";
static String endWordTag = "</Word>";
static String space = " ";
static String myText = "Hello how are you ";
public static void main ( String args[] )
{
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer (myText," ");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
while ( st.hasMoreTokens() )
{
sb.append(startWordTag);
sb.append(st.nextToken());
sb.append(endWordTag);
sb.append(space);
}
System.out.println ( "Result:" + sb.toString() );
}
}
