I need to do some changes in below line :
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("p[title=\"sanityapp5\"]").click()
Now I have create a string variable appname
appname="sanityapp5"
Now I want to know how to replace sanityapp5 with variable appname in above selenium command. I am new to python so do know how to do this.
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("p[title=\"%s\"]" % appname).click()
or using the newer style string formatting:
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("p[title=\{}\"]".format(appname)).click()
Let's do it in a more Pythonic way. Use format function.
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> "hello world{}".format("end")
'hello worldend'
>>> "hello world {1} and {0}".format("a", "b")
'hello world b and a'
>>>
And it is in your case
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("p[title=\"{0}\"]".format(appname)).click()
>>> appname="sanityapp5"
>>> "p[title=\"{0}\"]".format(appname)
'p[title="sanityapp5"]'
Few reasons why you prefer format to percentage.
