Using WatIN to determine website's position in google


I'm using WatIn - and have the current script:

IE ie = new IE("http://www.google.co.il");
ie.TextField(Find.ByName("q")).TypeText(mykeyword);
ie.Button(Find.ByName("btnG")).Click();

Now I want to be somehow understand which position my website is in.

I know that google wraps website's urls in their pages with(i'm parsing google.co.il):

<span dir=ltr>www.website.co.il/</span>

I know it should be something like: ie.Span(Find.XXX))

I am new to WatIN and will appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • Found the solutions myself:

                using (IE ie = new IE("http://www.google.co.il"))
                {
                    ie.TextField(Find.ByName("q")).TypeText(keyword);
                    ie.Button(Find.ByName("btnG")).Click();
                    int position = 1;
                    label1.Text = "";
                    foreach (Span span in ie.Spans)
                    {
                        if (span.OuterHtml.ToLower().StartsWith("<span dir=ltr>"))
                        {
                            label1.Text += position.ToString() + ": " + span.InnerHtml + "\n";
                            position++;
                        }
                    }
                }
