    Hi miteshqtg,

     

    You are right that you added '*'. It means that any text can be there. I think that you can simply use this:

    "//div[@id='__*']"

    This code should find all div elements with Id = __<something>.

     

    From my understanding this search query is not very reliable. I would suggest that you try to find another parameter. Do you have any other stronger parameters that can identify your div or input elements?

      This did not work. I also tried the below and that did not work either

       

      "//div[@id='__*_*']"
