Regex-xpath-how to extract a substring from string?
I have the following xpath match in my test suite,
//html/body/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[td/b[text()='NewsV1']]//td[4]/a[1]/@href[1]
Result :
http://news.co.uk:10100/local-news-en-1.0/info
I want the result as http://news.co.uk:10100/
I tried the below xpath expression with reg ex,
concat(join(tokenize(//html/body/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[td/b[text()='NewsV1']]//td[4]/a[1]/@href[1], '/' )[position() < 4],'/'),'/')
This i am getting the error as invalid xpath expression.kindly suggest me why this xpath expression is incorrect and help me to form the correct syntax to get the substring properly.
I cant write this groovy script to get this..i am facing CDATA error because of http response.
So i want the suggestion for xpath+regex
Thanks for advance .same problem in ready API too
