How to write xpath with variable?

Question

I have an xpath:

//*[@id='00QE000000gQ9fv_ACTION_COLUMN']/a[2]/span

in this xpath 00QE000000gQ9fv is dynamic and _ACTION_COLUMN remains the same. I stored 00QE000000gQ9fv in a String variable as recordId i.e:

String recordId = 00QE000000gQ9fv 

Now I want an xpath that contains recordId variable.

Answer 1

Create a string variable and use it (for example) as follows:

string strMyXPath = "//*[@id='" + recordId + "_ACTION_COLUMN']/a[2]/span";
driver.FindElement(By.XPath(strMyXPath)).Click();
