    Hi Dave,

     

    Two more options:

    a) Wildcards: e.g. var mainMenu = page.Find("idStr", "*MenuInner", 10, 1000);

    b) Regular expressions: e.g. var mainMenu = page.Find("idStr", "regexp: (mainMenuInner)|(navMenuInner)", 10, 1000);

Hi,

 

If i was in that situation, i will do like below:

 

var mainMenu = page.Find("idStr", "mainMenuInner", 10, 1000);
var navMenu = page.Find("idStr","navMenuInner", 10, 1000);

var menuObject = null;

if(mainMenu.Exists)
{
menuObject = mainMenu;
Log.Message("selected the object with idStr as mainMenuIner");
}
else if(navMenu.Exists)
{
menuObject = navMenu)
Log.Message("selected the object with idStr as navMenuInner");
}

//Here use if to check whether that has object or not 

if(menuObject != null)
{

//Do your stuff
}
