i need to click an item only if it is found to be on the page.
is there an IF found() function?

Hello,

Yes, EveryStep Scripting tool supports IF() function.

Examples are below:

1. Immediate element search:

// script_version=3.0; everystep_version=4.0.5987.31353; date=5/23/2016; Chrome=35.0.1916.157
Tabs.SetSize (1768, 714);
DMBrowser tab0 = null;
Step (1, “CNN – Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News – http://edition.cnn.com/”);
tab0 = Tabs.NewTab ();
tab0.GoTo (“http://cnn.com”);

string[] xpaths = new string[] { “//SPAN[normalize-space()=\”Is Austria about to elect a far-right candidate as president?\”]”,
“//SPAN[normalize-space(text())=\”Is Austria about to elect a far-right candidate as president?\”]”,
“//BODY/DIV[4]/SECTION[1]/DIV[2]/DIV/DIV[2]/UL/ARTICLE[1]/DIV/DIV[2]/H3/A/SPAN[1]” };
if (tab0.Contains(xpaths))
{
tab0.Span (xpaths[0], xpaths[1], xpaths[2]).Click ();
}

Step (2, “Austria presidential election: Far-right candidate has slim lead – CNN.com – http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/23/europe/austria-presidential-election/index.html”);
tab0.Navigating (“http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/23/europe/austria-presidential-election/index.html”);

2. Waiting for an element, and if an element appears (during 50 sec), clicking it:

// script_version=3.0; everystep_version=4.0.5987.31353; date=5/23/2016; Chrome=35.0.1916.157
Tabs.SetSize (1768, 714);
DMBrowser tab0 = null;
Step (1, “CNN – Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News – http://edition.cnn.com/”);
tab0 = Tabs.NewTab ();
tab0.GoTo (“http://cnn.com”);

string[] xpaths = new string[] { “//SPAN[normalize-space()=\”Is Austria about to elect a far-right candidate as president?\”]”,
“//SPAN[normalize-space(text())=\”Is Austria about to elect a far-right candidate as president?\”]”,
“//BODY/DIV[4]/SECTION[1]/DIV[2]/DIV/DIV[2]/UL/ARTICLE[1]/DIV/DIV[2]/H3/A/SPAN[1]” };
if (tab0.WaitForElement(xpaths))
{
tab0.Span (xpaths[0], xpaths[1], xpaths[2]).Click ();
}

Step (2, “Austria presidential election: Far-right candidate has slim lead – CNN.com – http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/23/europe/austria-presidential-election/index.html”);
tab0.Navigating (“http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/23/europe/austria-presidential-election/index.html”);

Hallo,
is it possible to modify the timeout for WaiForElement (if(tab0.WaitForElement(“…”)) ?
Many thanks
Andrea

Hello Andrea
Yes, you should be able to modify it. In case you can’t, click setting button at the top right corner of the application (wrench) -> Advanced Settings -> Miscelaneous tab -> Allow to edit script manually
