XPATH selector for the Webview

Open gedw99 opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Hey @inkeliz

I got a requirement where I need to let users load up a web page and then be able to get the XPATH of any element of the Web page they loaded.

Its a scraper system for pulling data from web pages that have very tabular data and will convert the HTML to CSV.

Do you think that this is feasible ? I am happy to write it but I figured I should ask for tips. I am happy to PR it here if you want it. It would be Demo_scraper I guess.

The GUI will be something like:

The Webview is the main Pane. The HTML Source is the bottom Pane. When they right click on the Webview, I take them to that place in the source, and they can select the XPATH.
