I need to implement a function that returns the first element the has Id attribute that contains a certain string.
in HAP I used to implement it as follows:
protected HtmlNode GetElementByIdPattern(string pattern)
{
return doc
.DocumentNode
.Descendants()
.FirstOrDefault(e => e.Attributes["id"] != null && e.Attributes["id"].Value.Contains(pattern));
}
How do I loop over all elements in CsQuery?
The solution is:
protected static CQ GetElementByIdPattern(CQ doc, string contains)
{
string select = string.Format("*[id*={0}]", contains);
return doc.Select(select).First();
}
Based on the jQuery syntax: $('[id=contains]: first')
